📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Sarvsaan Cultural Heritage Organization was founded on 2014, aiming to introduce and promote “participa-tory cultural heritage conservation” to the Iranian society. Although participatory activities had occurred before, but they mostly targeted one specific group of community and natural issues. Sarvsaan enhanced the target audience and encouraged young people to take action and cooperate on hand-on activities in the realm of heritage preservation. The Cultural group itself consists of young volunteers who are architects, conservationists and heritage experts.
💼 What the programme involves
- Foster cooperation between local youth organisa-tions, communities, site management and authorities.
