SUMMARY:Heritage Week
DESCRIPTION:National Heritage Week\, an initiative by the Heritage Council\, celebrates all things heritage. It brings together communities\, families\, organisations\, cultural institutions\, academics and enthusiasts\, to build awareness about the value of heritage and support its conservation. \nSince the Heritage Council assumed responsibility for National Heritage Week in 2005\, it has grown from a small 500 event to almost 2\,000 events in 2023. The Heritage Council assumed the role of coordinator of National Heritage Week from the Department of the Environment\, Heritage & Local Government. Since then the week has grown into a highly successful programme. \nHistory\nNational Heritage Week has grown since becoming part of the Heritage Council. Starting off small with a limited number of events\, it has grown to be an island-wide event celebrating all aspects of our built\, natural and cultural heritage. The nine day long event now includes Wild Child Day and Water Heritage Day as part of its event. \nDid you know that the theme for National Heritage Week is also the theme for over 40 European countries? As National Heritage Week is part of the European Heritage Days network\, Ireland along with other countries collectively decide the theme for Heritage Week each year. Since 2010\, National Heritage Week has had its own theme.
