The 2018 World Day for Audiovisual Heritage will take place on October 27, and has the theme “Your Story is Moving”.

 

Here is what UNESCO says about the theme:

“This theme allows for plenty of scope for a wide variety of activities based on stories that are preserved in audiovisual archives — people’s stories or narratives that enable heritage to be passed on to the next generation. At the same time, the theme also invokes the emotional connections and meanings people may derive from appreciating audiovisual heritage. It enlivens such heritage as a shared story binding people in a common humanity, moving them, so to speak, to higher levels of understanding of and respect for the other.”

 

Like last year Coordinating Council of Audiovisual Archives Associations (CCAAA) has made a dedicated page, http://www.ccaaa.org/WDAVH2018, for The World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, were you can add and share your events.

 

So please join the celebration of #WDAVH2018
