Teachers possess the power to make their classes more engaging than ever – Join a new initiative for Living Heritage and Education by UNESCO!

25 Aug 2022
Are you a teacher looking to make the most of your local cultures in the classroom? If so, this is your chance to collaborate with UNESCO!

UNESCO is inviting teachers from across the Asia-Pacific region to participate in the online course ‘Bringing Living Heritage to the Classroom in Asia-Pacific’, and to join the accompanying online seminars afterward to consult with UNESCO experts. 

These activities will help the teachers build innovative lesson plans that use traditional wisdoms, craftsmanship, festivals and rituals in local communities as tools and materials for quality education.

So, what do we ask you to do?

STEP 1: Watch this introductory animation series, ‘Teaching and Learning with Intangible Cultural Heritage in Asia and the Pacific’, on YouTube, which is available in 6 languages: English | Khmer | Korean | Nepali | Russian | Thai

STEP 2: Take this online course now (available only in English), and complete it before 28 November 2022: https://bit.ly/GCEDclassICH

  • You will receive a Certificate of Completion upon finishing the course. 

STEP 3: Sign up to our second quarterly webinar on ‘Bringing Living Heritage to the Classroom in Asia-Pacific’ which takes place on Thursday 1 December 2022 through this link: https://bit.ly/LivingHeritageED-AP2

  • You will receive a Certificate of Participation from UNESCO for attending the online seminar.
  • Also, if you can develop lesson plans using Living Heritage in your country by 31 December 2022, you will receive a Certificate of Achievement from UNESCO!
