Safeguarding Cultural Heritage (Phase 1): Empowering Youth in KPK (2019)

Executed between February and September 2019, this inaugural phase aimed to bridge the gap between the youth and their ancestral history in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Focusing on schools in Peshawar, Mardan, and Swat, the project conducted extensive workshops to educate students on the dual nature of heritage: Tangible (archaeological sites and monuments) and Intangible (oral traditions, folk games, and local languages). By engaging students in their own classrooms, the project successfully mobilized a new generation of “Cultural Ambassadors” committed to the protection and advocacy of Pakistan’s diverse historical landscape.
