Features: The role of teachers is crucial in World Heritage education. It is through collaboration with teachers that UNESCO can do its utmost to convey the concept of World Heritage to countless young people. Among them are tomorrow's policymakers and decision-makers. This series of books, compiled for educators, is designed to inspire the imagination and creativity of both teachers and students, as well as to further enrich educational approaches for heritage preservation. Education is a lifelong endeavor that requires us to use our minds, hands, and most importantly, our hearts. Therefore, the series is titled "World Heritage and Young People" to encourage them to understand, cherish, and take action. Education through examples is the best education. Thus, this series takes the form of a journey, allowing teachers from different disciplines and their students to personally experience the magnificent world cultural and natural heritage, sharing their knowledge. This journey not only helps young people appreciate the outstanding heritage of the past but also educates them to participate more actively in heritage protection, thereby contributing to building a better shared future.
