Giving Tuesday: Creation of the Culture-Nature Prize

Giving Tuesday: Creation of the Culture-Nature Prize

This year, ICOMOS took part in Giving Tuesday, a global day to give and celebrate generosity. Thanks to donations from ICOMOS members and friends, we have raised 15 000€ to fund the creation of the ICOMOS Culture-Nature Prize which will be awarded in 2022 to the most promising Culture-Nature initiatives undertaken by our members.

In recent years, ICOMOS has increasingly worked with Culture-Nature approaches to heritage especially through projects and initiatives such as Connecting Practice, the Culture-Nature Journey and the PANORAMA NatureCulture Thematic Community.

We thank all the individuals who took part in our campaign: every donation, big or small, made a difference and helped us reach our goal! We also thank the ICOMOS National Committees: ICOMOS Ireland, ICOMOS Austria, ICOMOS Spain, ICOMOS Sweden and ICOMOS Mali; the International Scientific Committee on Vernacular Architecture (CIAV) and the International Polar Heritage Committee (IPHC); as well as the foundations New England Biolabs Foundation and The Ocean Foundation, who supported our campaign.

Listen to our members talk about their involvement in Culture-Nature initiatives on our Youtube channel.
