AUN Reaffirms Commitment to UNESCO World Heritage Volunteers Initiative

The American University of Nigeria (AUN) has reaffirmed its commitment to the UNESCO World Heritage Volunteers (WHV) Initiative in Nigeria as preparations advance for the 2025 edition of the global heritage action program.

In a letter addressed to AUN’s President, the African International Documentary Festival Foundation (AFIDFF) expressed deep appreciation to the university for its unwavering support and partnership since 2021. The letter highlighted AUN’s instrumental role in promoting youth engagement, cultural preservation, and sustainable development, among other contributions.

“AUN’s collaboration has been instrumental in promoting youth engagement, cultural preservation, and sustainable development, particularly in underserved heritage communities such as the Sukur Cultural Landscape,” AFIDFF noted. “Your institution’s commitment to education, research, and social impact has truly elevated the quality and reach of the WHV programme.”

Looking ahead to WHV 2025, AFIDFF has once again invited AUN as a strategic and implementing partner, especially for the Sukur Cultural Landscape project. The foundation emphasized that the university’s continued involvement will further strengthen collective efforts to safeguard and promote Nigeria’s World Heritage Sites.

In his response, AUN President, Prof. DeWayne Frazier, conveyed the university’s enthusiasm for supporting the initiative. He thanked AFIDFF for the invitation and expressed keen interest in AUN’s participation in upcoming projects.

The WHV Initiative is a UNESCO flagship program that mobilizes youth volunteers worldwide to raise awareness and safeguard World Heritage Sites through conservation and community projects.
