Workshop: Global Geoparks: From Geological Value to Local Development

From Inventory to Global Presence is a professional programme delivered by the Saudi Heritage Preservation Society. It comprises five specialized tracks aligned with UNESCO frameworks and programmes, and aims to develop the knowledge and skills of heritage professionals and those interested in the field through Applied workshops that combine knowledge and practice. The programme takes participants from inventory and documentation and readiness assessment to the preparation of nomination dossiers and action plans related to international recognition and engagement. The workshop explores how geological value can be transformed into an integrated model that combines conservation, education, tourism and local development. It covers the process from identifying and documenting sites of geological significance to governance, partnerships and assessing readiness for joining the network.
