UNESCO has announced the launch of the Call for Projects for the ‘World Heritage Volunteers (WHV) 2025 – Working on the Future’.
After seventeen years of grassroots youth activities and international cooperation, the World Heritage Volunteers (WHV) Initiative continues to involve young people, communities and World Heritage Site coordinators/managers in building together new, inclusive societies where World Heritage is a source of resilience, humanity and innovation, beyond the challenges that faces the World.
This Call is an invitation for organisations and institutions to apply for the WHV 2025 Campaign with their proposed projects, and implement action camps, ideally between April and December 2025, in their communities. The proposed projects should help build stronger cooperation and valorise the engagement of local communities and young people at UNESCO World Heritage sites, through their rich
field activities and intercultural encounters; in line with the goals of the World Heritage Volunteers Initiative, they should aim to:
- Raise awareness
- Involve young people
- Empower young people
- Identify best practices
- Strengthen sustainable cooperation
