As part of YES! Youth Empowerment for Sustainable Development, our new program targeted on young people, we are pleased to launch, in collaboration with the UNESCO Office in Venice (UNESCO Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe), YEU - Youth Engagement in UNESCO designated sites, an online workshop dedicated to youth involvement in UNESCO designated sites and communities.

The workshop is programmed based on the UNESCO objectives of Education for Sustainable Development, aimed at enriching knowledge and skills that empower people to change the way they think and work for a sustainable future.

UNESCO designations represent the ideal contexts to strengthen education and active participation of youth involving them in the promotion of a more equitable and sustainable society.

Workshop subtopics are identified on the role of UNESCO designations for:

  1. Creating connections and engaging educational institutions through cross-sectorial collaboration, dissemination and knowledge transfer.
  2. Interpreting UNESCO values in youth involvement with the promotion of inclusive learning environments and the enforcement of awareness through informal education and cultural activities.
  3. Supporting innovative youth actions through collaboration with local businesses following sustainable development models.

The workshop is targeted on a mix of young professionals, educators, cultural practitioners, officers with a role within a UNESCO designated site or community, and other relevant institutional actors responsible for World Heritage properties, Biosphere Reserves, UNESCO Creative Cities, and elements inscribed in the UNESCO Lists and Register of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Other practitioners such as professionals in universities, scholars/researchers, independent experts, staff from international organizations or NGOs, etc. can also apply.

The 20-25 participants will be carefully selected and invited upon evaluation of a personal phrase of motivation and a short CV.
 

Applications are open until 24th January 2021 (3:00pm CET)
