UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE CENTRE
WORLD AIR LEAGUE
PARTNERS FOR CONNECTING THE GLOBE
The World Air League has entered into a formal partnership with UNESCO’s World Heritage Centre in order to support the Sustainable Tourism and Education Programmes. Together, we will promote the UNESCO mission and raise awareness about World Heritage and World Heritage site conservation.
In order to make the World Sky Race a success, the World Air League also seeks support from corporations and individuals to promote the event. Please join us!
Educational activities will be a component to this event. Using UNESCO content, we can reach a global audience of children who can learn about conservation and about World Heritage.
Charitable activities – The World Air League plans to encourage you to donate to World Heritage conservation – watch for more information soon!
