Based on the principle that once children are educated on the history of their built environment they will start to appreciate it and may also entice their parents to explore the city’s rich heritage and safeguard it for future generations. The games have been produced in collaboration with the Aceh Heritage Society and Sumatra Heritage Trust in Medan. Production was financed by the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Jakarta. (Publication)
