To commemorate 70 years of diplomatic relations between the Netherlands and Sri Lanka, the LDE Centre for Global Heritage and Development and the Netherlands Sri Lanka Foundation have organised a web seminar delving into different aspects of Dutch-Sri Lankan collaboration in the fields of research and heritage. In this particular session, we will look at property law, ownership and ethics, water and urban heritage and heritage-related tourism.
The web seminar ”Exploring Heritage, Sri Lanka - Netherlands Relations” will take place on Thursday 20 October 2022 (12:30-14:30 NL time/CET OR 16:00-18:00 SL time/IST).
The audience will be welcomed by Her Excellency Ms. Dr. Bonnie Horbach, Ambassador of the Netherlands to Sri Lanka and the Maldives, and Her Excellency Mrs. Aruni Ranaraja, Ambassador of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka.
