In the run-up to the Nagoya conference, the participants will prepare an introduction to their World Heritage Site and the region around it in an imaginative and creative way – making use of photos, comics, videos, songs, haiku poems or stories.

This will form part of the exhibition at CEPA Fair at COP10 and travel the world afterwards.
