Our 2024 program, Community × Heritage: The WHV Ayutthaya 2024 (Thailand), was selected as one of the “Stars of Outstanding” in the 2025 Global Awards for World Heritage Education Innovative Cases (AWHEIC), announced during the 47th Session of the World Heritage Committee at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris. Chosen from nearly 150 global submissions, the program was recognized for its innovative model of community-based heritage education, combining hands-on learning with active local engagement. It demonstrated how academic collaboration and grassroots participation can enrich heritage interpretation. The 2025 edition will be even more immersive, expanding its interdisciplinary and intercultural dimensions.
