The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has created a fact-filled World Heritage Education Programme with many resources that can be accessed on this attractive and user-friendly site. For instance, educators can download the World Heritage in Young Hands Kit, which is available in 37 languages, and includes six chapters covering topics related to identity, tourism, the environment, and a culture of peace. For younger children, UNESCO has created 12 animated episodes that follow a "young heritage guardian" as he travels around the world to important natural and cultural sites, along the way learning about architecture in Russia, biodiversity in The Republic of Congo, and the Great Wall of China.
