The World Heritage Volunteers arrived in Bahrain on 17 November 2017 to participate in the Bahrain Fort Camp program, which lasted until 27 November 2017. The volunteers toured various sites in Bahrain, attended lectures by experts regarding archaeological sites in Bahrain, and were trained in systematic monitoring of natural values of World Heritage properties through courses such as bird-watching count techniques. ARCWH provided technical and financial support to the organisation of this programme, which gathered volunteers from around the world.
