ICOMOS Palestine Committee aims to raise community awareness of cultural heritage and to educate participants, especially university students and recent graduates, in all fields related to Palestinian heritage. Its activities include visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites as well as nominated sites. These visits focus on cultural heritage sites in general, and specifically on rural areas, historic town centers, and archaeological monuments. The program seeks to familiarize participants with the Universal exceptional values of these sites, as well as with the criteria for their registration and preservation
