In October, Emeritus Professor John Tunbridge made lecture/discussion presentations at the International Cultural Centre in Krakow and the University of Warsaw, to mark the publication by the ICC of a selection of his work as a Polish-language book. The book, entitled (in Polish) The Changing of the Guard: Heritage at the Turn of the 21st Century, is described by the ICC as one of their major contributions to the Polish celebrations of the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018. The Polish presentations were followed by a keynote address at the Green Lines’ Tourism 2018 conference in Chaves, Portugal.
