“The Value of Heritage”
Unite4Heritage is proud to present the video "The Value of Heritage" that raises awareness about the importance of safeguarding heritage for future generations.
This video was produced by the UNESCO Beirut Office in the framework of the Emergency Safeguarding of the Syrian Cultural Heritage project, funded by the European Union and supported by the Flemish Government and the Government of Austria.
Earlier this week, we posted several short videos of individuals discussing cultural heritage. Today we are unveiling the entire video, which puts the spotlight on the loss of Syrian heritage. An important message emerges from the video: the importance of sharing your heritage story in order to save it.
