Make Heritage Fun

We Make Heritage Fun! GoUNESCO is a citizen led umbrella of initiatives that make heritage fun! Started in January 2012 by Ajay Reddy as a travel challenge with the goal of visiting all world heritage sites in India, GoUNESCO now runs a multitude of initiatives. - The GoUNESCO Internship Program is a global, 6 month certificate program in which hundreds of students from over 40 countries have participated. Through simple, fun tasks, these students are being made aware of heritage around them and all over the world. - GoUNES.co (GoUNESCOnference) is the first ever heritage conference on facebook. Through interactive sessions, the conference is initiating a discussion between experts and heritage enthusiasts and breaking down barriers. - Go Heritage Runs, a spin-off of GoUNESCO takes a unique approach to engaging with heritage. The runs are organized at heritage locations (currently across India) and weave in local arts/crafts into the run experience. In addition to showcasing the heritage location in a different light, Go Heritage Runs make the participant aware of the landscape, culture and people that make up this site.
