I'm not on here much any more but sharing this along for the team ... It's a lovely watch (even my bits are not too excruciating 😉) and demonstrates the real value of @intoheritage's work.
Ahead of #COP29 we’re launching ‘We are INTO’ - our new film on who we are and the power of international collaboration. Huge thanks to our stars, to our hosts and locations and especially to #SomersetFilm, who made this story come to life 🙌#intoheritage tinyurl.com/mve6cs5h

Over 1,500 years ago, this church was hewn into a vertical cliff face 650 feet above ground - and it's still in use today.
A thread of churches in astonishing places... 🧵

21 September is International Day of Peace
Over 3 years, international volunteers have restored a remote Georgian monument in the name of #peacebuilding through #heritage. Tsiskarauli Tower, in the Khevsureti region of Georgia, was damaged in 2001 by missile fire 1/2 🧵
