17-26/06/2018 - Young Professionals Forum | Protecting Heritage in an Ever-changing World (Μπαχρέιν)

The Young Professionals Forum “Protecting Heritage in an Ever-changing World”, will offer participants the possibility to reflect upon the everlasting conflict between preserving the past and moving on towards the future. Bahrain, being a small island state with an intense population movement and rapid transformations, becomes thus an ideal case study. Participants, with the guidance of local and foreign experts, day by day will reflect on the influence of historic evolution on heritage, on its ability to adapt to changes but also on an analysis of the risks emanating from a rapidly mutating world, progressively adding elements of reflection.

World Heritage Youth Forums are among the main activities of the World Heritage Education Programme, designed to foster intercultural learning and exchange by bringing together young people, educators and heritage experts from different parts of the world.

Participants of the Youth Forum will come from different heritage fields and countries and must be specifically interested in World Heritage. Thirty participants will be selected to take part in this year’s forum taking into account gender equality and regional representation. Applications can be sent through the UNESCO National Commissions or other respective governmental institutions, or directly from the applicants to the organizer.

All travel and accommodation costs for the selected participants will be covered by the Kingdom of Bahrain- for the duration of the forum. The organizers will assist in the travel preparations (including visas) and bookings.
