Theme
The theme of this conference is ‘Tribute to our landscape’ | where nature and people meet in harmony. Our landscapes, are part of the most valuable cultural treasures of the European society. It is where nature and people meet and interact in the past, present and in future. Unfortunately, not always in harmony.

We all realize societies in harmony with nature are crucial for present and future generations.
The corona pandemic has emphasised that more than ever. Finding harmony in the long run is the challenge. How can we act to meet this challenge, related to nature, human development, and sustainable economy?
Programme
We will offer fascinating keynote speakers, interesting workshops anda great variety of fieldtrips to Dutch National Parks and the amazing landscape of the Waddensea, a key UNESCO World heritage site. In addition, we surely plan time for networking, meeting old and new friends, and to discuss experiences. All National Parks and partners are invited to present their activities at a marketplace.
Share your experiences!
This is why we invite you to actively share your experiences and challenges. Let us know about topics and ideas that interest you. Which ideas and contribution do you have to cooperate with us. Or do you want to provide a workshop yourself? Please contact us under info@europarc2021.nl.

Information
