People as heritage keepers

by Carol Väljaots

Responsibility to all the communities

All of the people experience community life completely differently. But the longer we live and travel, the more communities we see and without thinking develop an idea of the perfect community.

Is there a perfect place for people on this earth? Who knows. But even without realising, people in the communities build values, traditions, places, objects and so much more.

The people in those communities are changing, but everything they built usually stays. Some of those things we can call cultural heritage.

I’m sure that you will find the reason why we have to keep the cultural heritage wandering around in this magazine but I want to focus on the people.

People are the ones who have the responsibility of keeping our cultural heritage alive. To keep the memories of history - no matter if bad or good.

No matter where we are from, with what background or where we plan to go. It’s on us to

keep our surroundings and before stepping to the future, respect history and traditions.
