Uniting global voices for heritage and nature

We are delighted to be hosting our first INTO Symposium: Uniting Global Voices for Heritage and Nature in partnership with the High Commission of Canada in the United Kingdom, on Friday 4 July 2025.

This landmark event brings together INTO members, conservation leaders and youth advocates from across the globe to celebrate and explore innovative, community-led approaches to cultural and environmental conservation. With over 100 member organisations spanning more than 70 countries and territories, INTO works to foster international collaboration and knowledge exchange in the heritage sector.

We will hear about the critical role of international collaboration in protecting our built and natural heritage in today’s climate (environmental, social, economic and political) and how the work of INTO member organisations offers hope by connecting people to place, identity and resilience in the face of global change.

Highlights include:

  • Keynote addresses from HRH Princess Dana Firas and Dr Patricia Kell, two global champions of cultural and environmental conservation
  • Stories of impact from INTO members working across Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas
  • Youth-led conversations and panels exploring resilience, identity and innovation
  • Networking in the elegant surroundings of Canada House
