Aga Khan Trust for Culture: Educational Resources for Schools

These educational resources, based on the work of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC), examine the impact of architectural interventions, urban revitalisation, cultural heritage preservation, traditional music and museum collections on community well-being and sustainable development. They illustrate the complex relationships between built environments and heritage, societal dynamics, and ethical values, using a range of materials including case studies and art exhibitions to create interactive learning experiences that encourage learners to become effective critical and creative thinkers.

Real-world examples, from the restoration of historic urban centres to the creation of inclusive cultural spaces foster a deep and informed understanding of the ways in which cultural assets can be leveraged to improve the quality of life of people around the world. These resources, many of which were commissioned for use by the Aga Khan Academies, encourage the connection of theoretical learning with practical application and encourage learners to seek to effect positive and sustainable cultural change both within and beyond their own communities.
