The 15th International Conference of National Trusts, “Our Heritage; Our Future: Cultural Diversity for Responsible Development“ will take place in Entebbe, Uganda, from September 30th 2013 to October 4th 2013. This will be the first time that such a high profile international conference on heritage is held on the African continent.

ICNT 15 will be co-hosted by the Cross-Cultural Foundation of Uganda, a local NGO with an active heritage promotion programme and member of INTO. The invitation, however, will be extended by all INTO members in Africa and the conference will adopt a continent-wide ‘label’.

The 15th ICNT will explore the diversity and relevance of heritage from a people’s perspective, with a special focus on the connection between intangible and tangible heritage. The Conference will provide an opportunity for delegates to share and explore new perspectives on:

 Heritage and Sustainable Development
 Indigenous knowledge for development
 Cultural diversity and rights
 Safeguarding our heritage
 Unlocking our diverse potential

ICNT 15 will take place over 5 days (Monday to Friday inclusive) as follows:

Monday 30th September: INTO congress (for INTO members); opening session and plenary; welcoming evening activity

Tuesday 1st October: Parallel conference sessions

Wednesday 2nd October: “Learning Journeys”

Thursday 3rd October: “Learning Journeys”, conference sessions, exhibition and cultural evening
