Description
The very term “Heritage” suggests that something of value has been transmitted through generations up to ours, and that such generations were and are able to access it as its heirs. In the case of World Heritage Sites, we need to balance and orchestrate preservation: the current generation should be able to visit and somehow enjoy heritage in a way that will allow future generations to benefit from and have access to it. Sustainability is a major part of the solution.
Since its establishment in 2002, the international UNESCO UNITWIN Network “Culture, Tourism, Development” has been working with its members – highly profiled researchers and professors – towards the goal of how tourism can coexist with, protect and sustainably enhance the outstanding value of the heritage belonging to all of humanity. It wants to share its knowledge in a spirit of solidarity among universities, decision makers, non-governmental organizations, civil society and the private sector.
For 2021, the MOOC series “Tourism Management at UNESCO World Heritage Sites” is releasing its third volume, providing new insights and numerous case studies from all around the world in all of its six chapters.
Format
An Arabic translation of this page is available by clicking on this link.
The course consists of six chapters, released one per week. During each chapter, learners will be able to gain knowledge about different aspects of Tourism Management at UNESCO World Heritage Sites thanks to ad-hoc documents and videos produced by members of an international network of prominent universities.
Participants will also have the opportunity to assess their understanding and learning progress through quizzes, as well as through various activities, discussions, and peer-to-peer evaluated activities.
During the six weeks, from May 24 until July 2, 2021, the pedagogical team is available to answer questions and give advice to the participants. Afterwards, you can still register to the course, watch videos, read the theoretical texts, answer quizzes, track your progress and discuss heritage tourism with an international community of people interested in tourism management at world heritage sites, but without the support from the pedagogical team.
The course remains available with all materials for enrolled students to use until the end of 2022.
