Since 2008 Patrimonito has become our remarkable project focusing on heritage site preservation. We
recently conduct Patrimonito project in Plaosan temple which also belongs to Prambanan temple compounds.
Prambanan temple compounds is a UNESCO world heritage site in Indonesia which is one of the largest temple
compounds in Southeast Asia. It was built in 9th century dedicated to the three great Hindu divinities (Shiva, Wishnu
and Brahma). The Prambanan temple compounds consist of Prambanan temple (also called Loro Jonggrang), Sewu
temple, Bubrah temple and Lumbung temple with total about 240 temples. The temples were damaged by
earthquake in 2006 and volcano ashes from Kelud mountain eruption in 2014. Until then the site management try
its best to preserve the temple by restoring the damaged temple and conducting a lot of activities in collaborating
with UNESCO, government and stakeholders to support the preservation.
The volunteers will be introduced to the World Heritage Centre’s activities and campaign, the history and dynamics
of world heritage sites worldwide. It aims at rendering its symbolic dimension to heritage through debates and
reflections, contribute to the restoration and preservation of cultural heritage and/or improve accessibility and
availability of information, raise the awareness of the local population and create a sense of “ownership " and
identification, and promote cultural heritage between international volunteers and organizations.
