The provincial Monument Conservation Center sent documents to the education and training centers, culture and information centers, and schools over the province so that these units can register for visiting and learning cultural heritages at the two places. At Ponagar Temple, students will be introduced about historical values, architectural features, and the worship of Holy Mother, and so on. Besides, students will have opportunities to experience the work of a tour guide; learn about Cham people’s culture; learn to perform Cham dances; and learn pottery and brocade making techniques of Cham people.

One of the outstanding activities is the contest about cultural heritages organized at district-level and province-level organized every year. The contest has received good response from schools and students. After a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, the contest has been planned to take place in 2022.
The provincial Monument Conservation Center finished programing for the visits of the units to the aforementioned places. The tour guides of center will introduce and provide knowledge which is appropriate to students. The center will cooperate with artists and artisans to help students have interesting experiences; cooperate with the artists of the provincial Traditional Art Theatre to introduce about traditional art forms and hold performances; and so on.

These activities are expected to attract students to cultural heritages and raise their awareness of protecting and promoting the values of these heritages. In order for the visiting and learning activities to take place effectively, the relevant units need to cooperate with each other closely. Besides, the content of the activities needs to be interesting and attractive. The activities have to be organized in accordance with COVID-19 prevention and control measures.
