The Cultural Heritage program initiated and implemented of the Youth Oral History Project in cooperation with the World Vision.

The six week project aimed to record and preserve intangible community heritage and to promote the heritage among the future generation to create awareness of national identity.

The project was funded by the L’Alliance Francaise de Mongolie. The participants of the projects were schoolchildren of the Chingeltei district and Students had opportunity to learn how to formulate interview questions, interview people and record interviews. During the lesson children obtained knowledge and practiced how to transcribe and evaluate their findings and present these histories in multiple ways, including an exhibition. Oral History gave community members a chance to voice their experiences and histories, and provides a valuable insight into the usually unheard histories of communities. The works by children including essay, interview, photography of their exhibtion display are compiled and translated for printing a book of it.
