Hello Wikimedians!
I am Khushi Shah, the director of Khushtar Heritage Collective. As per our
conversation, I am sending the details of the World Heritage Volunteer
program that I am hosting in Ahmedabad, India, from August 1st to August
10th, 2023.
*The World Heritage Volunteers (WHV) Initiative, launched in 2008 in
partnership with the Coordinating Committee for International Voluntary
Service (CCIVS), aims to engage and mobilize young individuals and youth
organizations in the preservation and promotion of World Heritage sites.
Presently, the initiative is jointly coordinated by the UNESCO World
Heritage Centre and Better World.*
Our 10-day workshop, titled *"Ahmedabad: From the lenses of built
heritage,"* will focus on interactive learning activities that delve into
the concepts of heritage, the significance of heritage and culture in
society, and the technical aspects of conserving historical properties.
For the same, I was wondering if any of the Wikimedia Research team would
like to collaborate with us.
The collaboration can benefit both of us while also engaging more youth in
heritage and culture.
Would you be interested in talking further about a possible collaboration?
I have attached a brochure of a tentative list of activities planned during
the workshop.
I would love to hear your thoughts.
Best regards.
