The National Parks Authority will be observing a significant milestone in July; its 5th anniversary of attaining the status of UNESCO World Heritage Site for the Antigua Naval Dockyard and Related Archaeological Sites.
A week of activities has been organised to mark the occasion where events will be used to recognise the contributors to this prestigious recognition and to reflect on the achievements since the official inscription five years ago, July 16th 2016.
The activities will be celebrated under the theme ‘From Dockyard to Shirley Heights –Celebrating Our Lives, Our People” which encapsulates the major factors that supported the campaign for the enviable UNESCO designation.
The week of activities will include an exhibition featuring the work of a group of art students from the Antigua State College, an education campaign, Media Day, Heritage Education Day targeting children from schools in the community and a night of Storytelling.
