Sites of the Hungarian World Heritage
Films in the Plenary Room - July 2nd 14:30-16:00
Before the Opening Ceremony we will show a series of films on various sites, which are part of the World Heritage in Hungary. UNESCO has adopted the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, in 1972. Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration.

Moderator: Tamás G. Szabó (high school student researcher)
