On 27 October 2016 we will celebrate the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage (WDAVH), sponsored by UNESCO and organized by the CCAAA (Co-ordinating Council of Audiovisual Archives Associations), of which FIAT/IFTA is a member.

The World Day for Audiovisual Heritage is intended to highlight the good work being done around the world to preserve and make available this important heritage, and to encourage others to follow those examples. The theme this year is “It’s Your Story – Don’t Lose It”. CCAAA and FIAT/IFTA encourage all of you to contribute information about your World Day celebratory programmes and events.

This year, on the occasion of the World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, the CCAAA is launching a new website, and all CCAAA associations are asking their members to post information about their World Day events directly on that new website. All you have to do is to fill in a simple online form which you will find on this special page of the website. Just follow the instructions!

Thank you for your contributions and a very happy and successful 2016 World Day to all.
