π Exciting news! A new cross-border UNESCO network, UNESCO Together, will connect UNESCO-designated sites across the island of Ireland, bringing communities together through shared heritage, culture, education and environmental action.
Led by Mourne Gullion Strangford UNESCO Global Geopark and supported through PEACEPLUS, this initiative will strengthen cooperation between UNESCO Global Geoparks, Biosphere Reserves, World Heritage Sites and Creative Cities, creating new opportunities for young people, communities and organisations to work together across borders. https://mournegullionstrangfordgeopark.com/news/new-cross-border-unesco-network-will-connect-heritage-sites-across-ireland/
