So far, we have learned how cultural heritage is our driving force, our identity and what helps us build a future for the coming generations. Why don’t we stop for a second to analyze what this really means?
We live in a fast-changing world, technology has helped us become globalized and stay connected to people from all over the world. We learn from them; we see what happens to them and we get to know them from the comfort of our house. We also watch the news, and we see how conflict damages all that history, sites, and people and jeopardizes the proper development of nations. The only way we can continue learning from others is by protecting them, helping preserve their cultural heritage.
“As a source of identity, heritage is a valuable factor for empowering local communities and enabling vulnerable groups to participate fully in social and cultural life. It can also provide time-tested solutions for conflict prevention and reconciliation.” (“Preserving our heritage,” 2012)
This topic aims to explain the importance of preserving and disseminating cultural heritage regarding the identity of social groups and development.
The main objectives of this topic are described in the following video:
