Full knowledge and passion for these sites leads to fair decisions and/or conclusions being made.īy working with teachers we can broaden the knowledge of students in schools to make them more aware of the significance of our world heritage sites and how to preserve and promote them. We believe that if people are aware of the problems in full detail then they are in a better position to decide whether to take action or not. We need to understand the value and present situation of heritage to take action for its preservation and find solutions for the various problems, which each community is facing today.

Unfortunately many of us, young people today, have difficulty learning about and understanding our heritage because of conflicts, wars and economic problems in our countries. We need to be taught our history so we do not make the same mistake which have happened in the past and are still happening. Warnings like Hiroshima will forever be an example of the cruelty of war and the ignorance of people. If we can help youth to learn about these special heritage sites, perhaps they will understand the importance. The more we know about our heritage sites, the more we appreciate them and do our best to take care of them. We are aware of the fact that we need to have knowledge before we can act. In order to protect our heritage it is important to establish peace in all parts of the world, and to spread ideas of peace and co-existence between human beings and the natural environment. Without history or heritage, there is no identity. We know that war can destroy the cultural heritage, and when that is done, the history and identity of the nation is lost. Heritage makes us proud, unique and united. It is a common property handed down from our forefathers, and shows us the identity of communities and counties, as well as individuals. Human art as well as the art of nature is here to remind us of our existence as human beings. Why is World Heritage important for us, young people?
