category international | history and heritage | event notice author Tuesday June 03, 2008 12:15author by TaraWatchauthor email info at tarawatch dot org Report this post to the editors

TaraWatch will hold demonstrations and lobby attendees to SAVE TARA

The Sixth WAC Congress, WAC-6, will be held in Ireland at the University College Dublin from 29th June-4 July 2008. This is a unique opportunity to lobby international experts to declare Tara a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but only after the M3 is rerouted.

The World Archaeological Congress is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization and is the only archaeological organisation with elected global representation. Its programs are run by members who give their time in a voluntary capacity. Membership is open to archaeologists, heritage managers, students and members of the public.

WAC seeks to promote interest in the past in all countries, to encourage the development of regionally-based histories and to foster international academic interaction. It is committed to the scientific investigation of the past, ethical archaeological practice and the protection of cultural heritage worldwide. It supports the empirical investigation and appreciation of the political contexts within which research is conducted and interpreted, and promotes dialogue and debate among advocates of different views of the past. WAC is committed to diversity and to redressing global inequities in archaeology through conferences, publications and scholarly programs. It has a special interest in protecting the cultural heritage of Indigenous peoples, minorities and economically disadvantaged countries, and encourages the participation of Indigenous peoples, researchers from economically disadvantaged countries and members of the public.

WAC holds an international Congress every four years to promote the exchange of results from archaeological research; professional training and public education for disadvantaged nations, groups and communities; the empowerment and betterment of Indigenous groups and First Nations peoples; and the conservation of archaeological sites.

TaraWatch opposes the route of the M3 motorway through the Tara valley, and will be holding demonstrations at this event.
