WMF and World Savvy developed a program of study that builds upon WMF’s work in the heritage conservation and World Savvy’s existing curricula regarding sustainable communities, and integrates global issues into the classroom across disciplines. The curriculum consists of four units based on the World Monuments Watch and WMF projects at the Qianlong Garden in the Forbidden City, China; the village of New Gourna, Egypt; and the Church of San Pedro Apóstol in Andahuaylillas, Peru. The units are geared toward grades 6–12 and use a project-based learning approach, whereby students explore a range of concepts (including geography, history, math, science, and arts) through WMF’s work and the creation of their own student projects. Educators are encouraged to download the units and submit student work to WMF, so that student ideas can inform the field and build public engagement in heritage concerns.
