The mountains play essential roles in all areas of life on Earth - from biodiversity to legacy of

rich traditions and cultures. They constitute a separate ‘world’ to be valued, preserved and

promoted. Mountains are the home of countless plant and animal species as well as roughly a

billion people globally. Because of this, mountains hold significant cultural value for the

heritage of local communities. The aim of the conference that is a real panorama on the

mountain areas is to discuss the revaluation and preservation of this immense tangible and

intangible heritage.

Conference language: English

Accompanying events: permanent and temporal exhibitions at the Tatra Museum; concert:

Trebunie Tutki from Zakopane and Quintet Urmuli from Georgia; guided tour to the Tatra

Mountains

Coordination and organization: Emilia Pomiankiewicz-Wagner
