📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The volunteers will learn and become more aware about the World Heritage site, and improve their personal and social skills by being a part of a good and effective team. They will have contact with locals, the site management and the authorities in order to get them involved in the activities and the work effectively, share their ideas and learn about cultural differences in the World Heritage. Finally, the volunteers will learn and practise various methods of maintenance, conservation, rehabilitation and improvement on the site.
💼 What the programme involves
The volunteers will undertake general maintenance of the churches of the Göreme open-air museum and the valley next to it, and will support the restoration of the ancient remains of the archaeological site Sobessos Ancient City. In addition, they will carry out cleaning works on several walking routes at the World Heritage site, reassemble rocks from the walking routes, renovate the information system, detect endemic plants in archaeological sites and undertake other similar tasks.
