Course Introduction
World Heritage Education is an interdisciplinary educational program with the core values of respecting cultural diversity, inheriting and developing national culture, enhancing awareness of environmental protection and sustainable development, and promoting harmonious development of the international community. Under the three-dimensional teaching objectives of "knowledge, values and attitudes, and abilities", it involves multiple disciplines such as language and literature, history, art, geography, archaeology, architecture, science, and information technology.
"The UNESCO World Heritage and Intangible Cultural Heritage Hong Kong Teacher Training Programme" aims to assist Hong Kong teachers in integrating world heritage education into teaching, organize and offer school-based courses related to natural and cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage in schools, encourage students to actively participate in in-depth, lively and interesting study and research activities, and enable Hong Kong youth to understand, study, protect and inherit world heritage and intangible cultural heritage. The training program is jointly organized by UNESCO Hong Kong Association and Hong Kong Institute of Education for Sustainable Development. It integrates teaching and field trips. The course has been completed for six cohorts. The previous courses have been well completed. The teaching plans submitted by teachers in the first and second cohorts have been evaluated and selected for publication.
