Culture and Heritage

The “Heritage & Culture” project, initiated under Ahmedabad Global Shapers, is a dynamic and multifaceted effort aimed at bridging the past and the present by engaging the community with Ahmedabad’s rich cultural and historical tapestry. Recognizing Ahmedabad’s status as a UNESCO World Heritage City, the project seeks to deepen public awareness and appreciation of the city’s unique heritage, fostering a sense of pride and responsibility among its residents.

This initiative emphasizes inclusivity, aiming to reach a broad audience—from local citizens to tourists, from young students to seasoned historians. By creating diverse and interactive experiences, the project aspires to make heritage accessible and relatable to all.

At its core, “Heritage & Culture” is about more than just preserving physical structures; it is about reviving the intangible aspects of Ahmedabad’s culture—its traditions, stories, and community practices. Through this initiative, the project intends to cultivate a deeper connection between the people and their city, encouraging them to not only recognize the value of their heritage but also actively participate in its conservation and promotion.

With a blend of educational and recreational activities, “Heritage & Culture” will contribute to a greater understanding of the city’s history, while also inspiring a new generation of heritage advocates. This initiative will serve as a model for how cities can engage their communities in meaningful conversations about heritage, culture, and identity, ensuring that the legacy of Ahmedabad continues to thrive in the future.
