Address issues such as peace, intercultural understanding, and global environmental protection;
Serve as a basis for values education – teaching about democratic principles and most importantly, can boost civic activism and engagement (Aplin , 2007)
Educational activities in the heritage field are an ideal way of giving meaning to the future by providing a better understanding of the past (1998).
