Korean tidal flats were added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in July of last year. Known for their biodiversity and many endangered species, the tidal flats are an integral part of daily life for people who live on the island. However, visitors don’t know how much it is important. So you are here to try to get more attention from them and the public about world heritage and the value of tidal flats to be preserved. It has a good geographic advantage so that you can experience world heritage in the environment and culture.
Work: Participants are divided into groups with locals and record local’s life and activities related to tidal flats. The output will be donated to the village in the end. By doing this, we can raise the awareness of the visitors on the heritage related to tidal flats such as fishing tools and skills. They are in danger because residents are old and no one can succeed them. If you are interested in topics such as world heritage, environment, and communicating with local people you are very welcome to this project. Previous work/volunteer experience with skills in video editing and interviewing is an asset.
