For CSOs

What role conservation NGOs play in protecting the natural heritage?

International conference on "CULTURE AND NATURE. Local communities for heritage: good practices in Central Europe" was held on March 29, 2023 at the Cieszyn Castle, Poland. The idea of Nature and Culture was taken from the work entitled "Kultura a Natura" from 1913 by Jan Gwalbert Pawlikowski (1860-1939), an outstanding publicist, economist and politician, one of the precursors of nature conservation in Poland. When choosing the place of the conference, we decided that Cieszyn and the cross-border Cieszyn-Těšín Silesia combine the idea of Culture and Nature in a great way, and that the region inspires actions for the protection of heritage and the development of ecotourism.

The main purpose of the Human Forum event since its begning has been to find answers to the question of whether democracy in Slovakia and Europe is under threat. As in the last 2 years, the conference was held in cooperation with the Ekopolis Foundation within the project Reclaim Our Civic Space!

Thanks to Fundusz Parnerstwa for putting together the Code of Friendly Events! We hope that this short list guides you and your CSO through any event you are planning to organize!
