For many times, by means of offering coordination and free tickets, the
Geopark supported volunteer activities for world heritage in China organized by
UNESCO World Heritage Committee and Coordinating Committee for International
Voluntary Service.
In the 70th anniversary of UNESCO establishment and the 30th anniversary of
China’s attendance at World Heritage Convention, 23 world heritage international
young volunteers of “Patrimonito” from 8 countries and regions, e.g. England,
France, Spain and Korea, came to Xikeng Primary School and carried out the
second station activities of World Heritage Site International Volunteer Sanqing
Tour.
During the five days in scenic region, the volunteers picked up garbage,
standardized and corrected signboards, organized signing activity of heritage
protection and distributed leaflets of heritage protection to tourists to
publicize heritage protection knowledge, hoping they can initiate tourists’
awareness on world heritage through practical behaviors. Besides, volunteers
introduced heritage protection knowledge to teenagers of Xikeng Central Primary
School to deepen the protection consciousness of the next generation through
vivid interactive games and paintings of Patrimonito -- the youth defender of
world heritage.
