The World Heritage Cultural Center was founded in 2005, by Sattie Persaud, in the United States. The center aims to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of the world, using performing, visual and culinary arts as a tool to create a more inclusive, respectful, and interconnected world.
Through its mission, the World Heritage Cultural Center seeks to create a bridge between communities, cultures, and generations, fostering a rich understanding of the shared human experience while celebrating the unique identities that shape the fabric of society. The center embodies a commitment to cultural education, resilience, and creativity, ensuring the stories and traditions of diverse peoples continue to be recognized and cherished.
Our hope is to change society in a way where people can contribute to what matters most: Humanity.
Dance and musical participation inculcate culture not as a text or set of rules, but as a profound aesthetic orientation.
Art is a form of communication; it allows people from different cultures and different times to communicate with each other via images, sounds, and stories.
Studying the culinary arts can help improve your life and the lives of the people you end up cooking for, as there is comfort in familiarity and joy in exploring unfamiliar palates.
The clothes we wear tell stories of our culture and heritage – things that can't easily be shrugged on and taken off at will. Tradition is passed down in the creation of our clothes.
At WHCC, we believe the concept of social justice refers to the process of ensuring that individuals fulfill their societal roles and receive what was their due from society.
Environmental stewardship refers to responsible use and protection of the natural environment through conservation and sustainable practices.
