Media for social change

There are over 851 sites on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Located all around the world, these sites are of exceptional value to humanity. They also help contribute to the sustainability of communities and ecosystems

Every year, the World Heritage Committee meets to review the state of preservation for each site and to review applications for new sites. During the summer of 2008, 30 young people from around the world assembled in Canada to observe the work of the committee, not only to learn more about World Heritage, but also to consider their role in helping to protect it.
