To ensure that SAFE’s mission carries into the future, it is important to educate and engage the younger generation. Students may not understand that antiquities are more than simply beautiful objects. By partnering with schools and students, SAFE explains to students why the need to care about the damage wrought by looting and illicit trade. Students are our future educators, policy makers, politicians, and museum directors. By educating them about the reality of the situation, they can make informed decisions regarding the future of the world’s past.
