Recently E-FAITH, the European Federation of Associations of
Industrial and Technical Heritage, launched a campaign to influence the the
European authorities (European Commission and/or Council of Europe) to declare a
European Industrial and Technical Heritage
Year.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- E-FAITH does want this initiative to grow bottom-up, showing that there is
a large interest in Europe for this kind of heritage.
- We therefore appeal to all heritage organisations, local preservation
groups, associations for regional and local history, associations of museum
friends and friends of heritage sites, museums, regional development and
tourism organisations, etc. to endorse this campaign by approving the
memorandum pleading for the European Industrial and Technical Heritage Year.
Once a large number of associations have shown their support we will then go
to the European authorities asking them to declare such a year. Our aim is to
have the support of at least 250 organisations from at least 15 European
countries before contacting the EU ande the CoE.
- May we therefore ask you to support the initiative
by approving the Memorandum.
- If your organisation or institute does support the idea, please copy the
text of the memorandum on your letterhead and send the approved copy, dated
and duly undersigned by your representative(s) to our secretariat.
- In attachment we do send you the English version of the memorandum.
- The information on the campaign and the first results are available at
http://www.e-faith.org/home (go to 'Campaigns'). The text of
the memorandum is now also available in 18 languages -
If there isn't yet a version available in your language we will be delighted
if you or somebody else from your country could produce a translation, which
we can add to the website.
- Please also forward the information about the
campaign to other organisations and institutes in your country and
abroad.
- Spread the gospel !
- Thanks for your support
