Forum: "Your Window to the world."World Day for Audiovisual Heritage 2021.
Around the world audiovisual archives join together on October 27th to celebrate their work with events that not only highlight the vulnerability of these valuable materials, but also to celebrate the often, unheralded work of the institutions that provide protection and preservation, ensuring their availability in the future.
EVENTS: To make the year 2021 more impactful, we also plan to hold a range of activities which are expected to take place for a day- to enable greater participation from various categories including policy makers, government officials, students, heritage activists, and public/civil society.
This event is not only a celebration, but also an advocacy platform for two types of main audiences:
1) Policymakers - View the importance of audiovisuals to be formally recognized as the national heritage.
2) Civil Society - Build awareness and appreciation that audiovisual is one of the forms of heritage that needs to be preserved.
