OPEN LETTER TO UNESCO
Our team launched an open letter to UNESCO, signed by over 150 cultural figures in, from and for Odessa, requesting that decisions about Odesa’s UNESCO World Heritage are postponed until after the war. The letter highlighted concerns about the impact of these decisions on Odesa's unique cultural heritage and identity, advocating for public consultations and expert scrutiny before any irreversible changes are made. The appeal underscored the need for careful consideration of Odesa's historical significance and the preservation of its cosmopolitan values in the face of ongoing conflict.
