European Geoparks Week May/June 2010

The European Geopark Network organizes every year several common events including the European Geoparks Week, Conferences, Thematic meetings, Intensive Courses, Exhibitions, Seminars, Summer Schools, Educational activities with the participation and contribution of the member Geoparks.

The European Geoparks Week, taking place at late May early June each year, is a festival of Geoparks aimed at raising public awareness of geoconservation and promotion of geological heritage as well as touristic and educational activities in geoparks.

Events are varied and include public talks, activity days for schools, guided walks, exhibitions, workshops, etc.

While these activities may be common geopark activities for this one week the activities are coordinated and promoted in the same week across the whole European Network. It provides the Network with the opportunity to demonstrate to our communities that they are part of a wider European Network which is promoting that the sustainable use of our geological heritage can bring the economic benefit for local people.
