After a long hiatus, APT-SAC events are back! An initiative led by Khushi Shah:
Event 1:
Khushtar Heritage Collective is hosting the “World Heritage Volunteers 2023 – Working on the Future” campaign, in the framework of the UNESCO World Heritage Education Programme at the Historic City of Ahmadabad, in India. The program titled 'Ahmedabad: Through the Lens of Heritage' is being conducted in partnership with APT as well as other local partners. It is supported by Michael Tomlan.
The objectives of the workshops are:
Raise awareness among young people, volunteers, local communities and concerned authorities of the need to protect and promote World Heritage. Involve young people in World Heritage preservation through concrete projects at sites. Empower young people allowing them to learn skills in basic preservation and conservation technique and raise their capacity as future decision-makers and global active citizens. Strengthen sustainable cooperation between non-profit organizations, site management, communities and authorities.
Identify best practices and develop non-formal educational tools to facilitate stakeholders’ participation in World Heritage educations.
Event 2:
As a part of the WHV 'Ahmedabad: Through the lens of Heritage', an online session is hosted with Ron Anthony as the expert speaker. He will share his experience as a wood scientist and some important understanding of wood as a material with the participants. The program is open to all and free for WHV participants and APT members.
Looking forward to your participation!
