This Youth Innovation Camp for Lijiang Ancient Town, a World Cultural Heritage site, is a practical project under the UNESCO World Heritage Volunteers Initiative “Ripple Action”. It brings together young volunteers from universities across China for a 10-day immersive heritage conservation practice themed “Heritage Homeland · Human Stories”. Volunteers conduct field surveys in the ancient town, record stories of local residents and craftspeople, produce cultural maps and character records, run heritage classes for teenagers and hold public exhibitions. From a youth perspective, they vitalize and spread the value of world heritage. This project has been recognized as an outstanding innovative case for world heritage youth education.
