The World Heritage Young Professionals Fora are among the flagship activities of the World Heritage Education Program, serving as a platform for bringing young professionals and heritage experts together to foster intercultural learning and exchange, to debate about common concerns and to discover new roles for themselves in heritage conservation.

Accompanied by local and international experts, and through a variety of presentations, roundtables, virtual visits etc., participants will gain in-depth knowledge of the processes and working practices of the 1972 World Heritage Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, and explore the subthemes of :

  • World Heritage: People and Governance
  • World Heritage: Tourism and Community Development
  • World Heritage: Community Empowerment through Innovation
