Outreach

Thirty-two young professionals from 17 countries of the Arab States region attended the Arab World Heritage Young Professionals Forum in Tunis, Tunisia from 2 to 6 December 2019. The participants brought a diverse range of academic and professional backgrounds related to heritage and peacebuilding. Over the five days, they examined the concept of violent extremism and its manifestation at heritage sites, recovery and reconciliation processes, and the pivotal role that youth and society as a whole can play. As young professionals in the field, they explored a common vision for a future of peace in the region, and discussed how culture can be leveraged to help create it.
