The support of Digital Lighthouse for the activities and projects of UNESCO Youth Committee will be achieved through the realization of a promotional video of the first "UNESCO Italian Youth Forum" scheduled in the city of the "Sassi" in March 2018. The partnership confirms the willingness of the parties to pursue a synergy aimed at enhancing and promoting the cultural heritage of the national territory, and in particular of a defined number of Italian UNESCO sites, in line with the UNESCO Youth Committee's mission and with the technological and informative strong vocation which characterizes Digital Lighthouse multimedia solutions for the Cultural Heritage sector.
