Heritage Education for Conservation: A New Perspective from the My Son Sanctuary, Vietnam

Abstract

This study presents a new approach to Heritage Education aimed at sustainable conservation, with the My Son Sanctuary, Vietnam, serving as a case study. By enhancing understanding of historical, cultural, and architectural values, along with identifying existing threats to the heritage, the author proposes a new model of 'Heritage Education for Conservation' for the My Son Sanctuary. This model seeks to provide knowledge, encourage active community participation, foster greater individual responsibility, and strengthen perthereforenal connections to heritage. Ultimately, it contributes to raising awareness and promoting conservation behaviors, while simultaneously building a strong local community committed to safeguarding cultural heritage.
