Embracing Peace through UNESCO World Heritage

This resource kit is the product of long labor by 10 researchers consisting of scholars on UNESCO heritage and teachers working in schools that belong to the UNESCO Associated Schools Network (ASPnet). It is distinct from existing educational resources in several ways. First, this kit goes beyond introducing the variously inscribed World Heritage properties one after another, to explain the rich significance of the heritage properties through keywords such as peace, cultural diversity, and sustainability. We also sought to overcome misconceptions about World Heritage and presented the content through various interesting cases for easy, hands-on application in classroom settings. In 2024, KNCU has pilot-tested the teaching materials presented in this resource kit in Korean middle and high schools belonging to UNESCO ASPnet. An online teacher training course based on this book has also been provided in June this year.
