New Delhi: The International
Chamber of Media And Entertainment Industry has always believed that the World
can be brought on the same platform through art and culture-therefore a very
common phrase Dr. Sandeep Marwah President ICMEI keeps on repeating that “Love
Peace and Unity Can be Possible through Art and Culture, therefore it is also
important to keep our heritage safe & alive,”
Dr. Sandeep Marwah was on
line with members of different countries from the art and culture fraternity
celebrating World Heritage Day 2020.
Every
year 18th April is celebrated as ‘International Day for Monuments
and Sites’ or ‘World Heritage Day’ This day is to raise public awareness
on importance of diversity of cultural heritage and preserving these heritage
for the generations ahead and the efforts required to protect and conserve it.
“Ancient
monuments & sites are an asset to us that help us understand our history
and the root of our culture for generations to come. The theme of World
Heritage Day 2020 is "Shared
Culture’, ‘Shared heritage’ and ‘Shared responsibility",” said Dr.

decided to celebrate World Heritage Day via Internet. The theme focuses on
global unity with the current worldwide health crisis.
