Description: Preservation of Asante Traditional Buildings, Ashanti Region.
Type of Work: The World Heritage Volunteers Project on the Asante Traditional Buildings will focus on climate change adaptation and digital preservation. Volunteers will assess vulnerabilities, reinforce structures with sustainable materials, and implement water management systems to protect against erosion. They will gain skills in climate impact assessment and conservation, working alongside international volunteers, site managers, and the local community. Best practices will be shared through interactive workshops and non-formal education.
For digitalization and innovation, volunteers will use 3D scanning and digital archiving tools to document the buildings’ architecture and symbolic motifs. They will create virtual tours and multimedia content to enhance global awareness. Skills in 3D modeling and heritage documentation will be developed, with site managers ensuring authenticity. The community will contribute cultural insights, strengthening local engagement. These efforts will support the long-term protection, preservation, and promotion of the Asante Traditional Buildings.
