World Heritage in Young Hands

“Autumn Session”


What do you think people mean when they talk about “heritage”? Do they mean old buildings and dusty museums? Are they talking about festivals and feast days, or religion and rituals? What about traditional music and dance, handicrafts and paintings? Of course, it should mean all these, which shape our identity. These can be tangible objects, like the temples and stupas or things you can feel, see but can’t touch, like folk songs and legends etc. The important thing is that everyone should recognize that they are important and we have a responsibility to protect them.

We Kathmandu 2020 in association with “UNESCO” are going to organize a program of “Young Heritage Guide Training”.

Are you willing to be a Young Heritage Guide?

After training participants have to work as “Young Heritage Guide” especially with school & college students.
