Heritage Day India, 21 October 2011
On Friday the 21st of October the Heritage Day India took place. It was organized in cooperation with Leiden University and the National Archives of the Netherlands (Nationaal Archief) and took place at the National Archives in The Hague.
Dutch heritage professionals working with India were brought together to exchange experiences and knowledge on projects and activities in the field of Indian-Dutch mutual cultural heritage.
Professionals working on heritage projects outside India, but with similar themes and expertise were also warmly invited to participate at the Heritage Day India.
The aim of the Heritage Day is to improve connections between projects and partners, bring experts together, discuss fundamental issues on heritage activities and to write recommendations with regard to heritage activities between both countries.
