Issue<br />
Strengthening use of the <strong>Antonine</strong> <strong>Wall</strong> WHS<br />
in informal education and outreach<br />
As well as being a focus for formal educational use,<br />
the <strong>Antonine</strong> <strong>Wall</strong> is also regularly used for informal<br />
education work, by communities and for outreach<br />
events. In 2012, a World Heritage Day event was held at<br />
Croy, which linked communities from all five Scottish<br />
World Heritage Sites, and an annual community led<br />
event, Big Roman Week, runs in the Falkirk <strong>Council</strong><br />
area. Healthy lifestyle walking groups in the <strong>Glasgow</strong>,<br />
North Lanarkshire, East Dunbartonshire, and Falkirk<br />
<strong>Council</strong> areas use sections of the wall for weekly events,<br />
while community development at Lambhill Stables<br />
in <strong>Glasgow</strong> has seen the <strong>Antonine</strong> <strong>Wall</strong> included in a<br />
walking map for the area, and in planning for future<br />
interpretive and outreach work. Ranger services,<br />
based in various organisations along the <strong>Antonine</strong><br />
<strong>Wall</strong>, regularly lead events related to both natural and<br />
cultural heritage, using the WHS as a venue.<br />
Objective 3.5<br />
To support local communities to use the <strong>Antonine</strong> <strong>Wall</strong><br />
WHS in informal education and outreach initiatives<br />
Objective 3.6<br />
To build a programme of events and activities for<br />
families, special interest groups and the general public<br />
Build strong structural and organisational<br />
partnerships with local, national and<br />
international organisations, strengthen<br />
engagement with local communities, and<br />
contribute to sustainable economic growth<br />
Issue<br />
International partnerships<br />
As well as being a monument of international<br />
importance in its own right, the <strong>Antonine</strong> <strong>Wall</strong> is<br />
also part of the wider Roman frontier, a monument<br />
stretching over 5000km from the Atlantic Ocean to<br />
the Black Sea, from Egypt to the Atlantic coast of Africa.<br />
Although at present there are only three international<br />
partners in the FREWHS, this could increase in future<br />
years as other countries who care for sections of<br />
this frontier seek to join. <strong>The</strong> international Partners<br />
to the FREWHS are interdependent on one another<br />
for the long-term existence of the World Heritage<br />
Site; if one country has a part of its section placed on<br />
the endangered list, then the whole FREWHS is also<br />
included. A high degree of cooperation is therefore<br />
required between the international Partners to ensure<br />
best practice approaches to the conservation and<br />
management of the FREWHS are in place and that<br />
information and skills are shared between one another.<br />
For other countries who may be interested in joining<br />
the FREWHS, academic and professional links with<br />
existing international Partners are maintained through<br />
the Bratislava group, giving the opportunity to discuss<br />
