Designed for kindergarten and primary school students, the Culture Explorers: Cultural and Natural Heritage Education Program is a graded educational program that addresses cultural and natural heritage issues relevant to humanity's past, present, and future, aiming to introduce children to these topics and raise their awareness at an early age.

Going beyond simply providing information on the subjects, the Culture Explorers program, designed to pedagogically establish the relationship between information, context, and values for students, is aligned with the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goal of "Quality Education" and aims to contribute to the upbringing of more knowledgeable and conscious generations regarding cultural and natural heritage.

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

The Culture Explorers: Cultural and Natural Heritage Education Program, designed for early childhood learning groups aged 5-10, is structured around three main objectives.

1. Recognizing Cultural and Natural Heritage

2. Understanding the Value of Cultural and Natural Heritage

3. Protection of Cultural and Natural Heritage

The program is designed to help students experience firsthand elements of social awareness such as being able to look at things from different perspectives, respecting different cultures, understanding the value of diversity, practicing empathy, and understanding the norms of the society in which they live.

Prepared in accordance with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Education Programme, this content aims to enable students to understand cultural and natural heritage as a globally valid concept and as a whole, as well as to contribute to the development of their conservation awareness.

The program is designed both as a single level and as a graded program from KG2 to K4, with 18 to 26 hours of lesson content, as well as 30 activities at each level that can be given in-class or as reinforcement.
