Cultural Heritage Days – happens every year in the third week of September. It is held in Hungary in different locations each year in order to present various communities with noted cultural heritage. UNESCO formed the international agreement for protecting cultural heritage in 2003. Hungary joined in 2006. "By establishing the UNESCO agreement they wish to stimulate the need to preserve intellectual cultural heritage, so that the importance of cultural heritage will be acknowledged and known on a local, national and international level..." Mainly this is an effort to protect and preserve the kind of heritage that is no longer spontaneously handed on and is in danger of dying-out in its natural habitat. By Dr. Csonka-Takács Eszter.
