In recent years, with the AWHEIC as the core focus, WHITRAP has organized side events during three consecutive sessions of the World Heritage Committee. In the future, we will continue to forge ahead, comprehensively strengthen cooperation with the Heritage Committee, such as the World Heritage Young Professionals Forum and the World Heritage Site Managers Forum, and strive to establish the hosting of side events at each session of the Heritage Committee as a series of international event brands, with the aim of better promoting and leading the development of world heritage education innovation.
