The focus of this meeting is to explore how the three centers conduct deep cross-border cooperation on the theme of world heritage youth education. Three center have unanimously stated that they would try their best to exert their advantages, share resources and raise it to a higher-focused stage. All of these efforts illustrated that this cooperation would become the key promotion projects of the year. Secretary-General Xin Li has given a theoretical explanation on how to do cross-border cooperation, emphasizing that the center should strive to translate international rules into domestic context. As an interpreter and standard setter of the rule, world heritage youth education should become a classic and model case in the Asia-Pacific region. Then, delegates have fully discussed and evaluated the operation of the 2019 World Heritage Youth Education Project.
