Welcome to an exciting project for school classes in grades 3-6!
In a digital presentation about 3 minutes long, you will tell about the World Heritage site near you: From history to the present. The presentation is created with imagination, creativity, and the presentation tools that suit you best. Use, for example, PowerPoint with text and images, stop-motion film, regular film, or why not a puppet theater with cardboard figures? We encourage the entire class to participate in compiling information and images. Share what you like best about your World Heritage site and why you are unique in the world. You can choose whether the segment should be pre-recorded or live. At the digital event on UN Day, we will gather all participants and offer schools the opportunity to participate via a link. It will be a fantastic opportunity for you to share your World Heritage site and teach others about its significance and history!
For whom: Classes in grades 3-6
Preparations and preliminary work: Approx. 3 x 1 hour in the classroom

UNESCO World Heritage and the School
A World Heritage site is a cultural or natural monument so valuable that it is a concern for all humanity. Once the site, environment, or object is listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, they are guaranteed protection and care for all time. World Heritage sites can teach us about both the diversity and power of nature and humanity. By protecting and preserving the unique, we can learn from each other, regardless of the era or continent we represent. Schools should convey and embody the values that are important for a functioning democratic society. In the Education Act and curricula, there are specific writings that state that the school’s value foundation should be based on fundamental democratic values and human rights. This also includes the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which has been Swedish law since 2020.
