PROJECT: Over the past fourteen years, the World Heritage Volunteers (WHV) initiative has grown enormously due to the growing interest and appreciation for the protection and preservation of World Heritage sites. For the first time, an international volunteer camp will be held at the Ex-Convent of San Miguel Arcángel, located in the municipality of Huejotzingo. The former convent is a Franciscan construction, considered the first “convent-fortress temple” built in New Spain, and was declared a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1994. Huejotzingo will receive national and international volunteers to carry out awareness-raising activities about the importance of preserving local cultural heritage, supporting the preservation of the 16th century ex-convent on the slopes of Popocatépetl. This project envisages collaborative work with the heritage management bodies of the state of Puebla as well as with the community and academic institutions.
