On the end of February 2018 the list of ambassadors count 61 ambassadors from 31 countries.
On the end of August 2019 the list of ambassadors count 97 individual and 21 official institutional Ambassadors from 48 countries from all global continents.
On the end of January 2020 the list of ambassadors count 110 individual and 32 official institutional Ambassadors from 53 countries from all continents.
The findings of prehistoric vessels (e.g. EarlyWatercraft), logboats and dugout canoes as the oldest evidence (logboat from Pesse, Netherland) as the other forms of watercraft (reed-, skin-, bark- boats, rafts, etc.) all over the world mark the beginning of shipbuilding and transportation traditions and in the sense of far-reaching significance as well as navigation, mobility, orientation, networking, conquering, colonisation, travelling and consequently also the other inventions. Anthropological theory, however, even without the aid of real finds is widely accepted and claims that the watercraft began to be in use for at least 60k years, and some of them even state’ that watercraft has been used even by Homo erectus from 800k years ago.
This great story of transportation on water, which is closely linked to man’s traditional coexistence with water and his life in aquatic environments has a strong symbolic meaning since the vast majority of humanity lives near the seas, lakes and rivers. In the general story of shipping traditions, shipbuilding and watercraft typology in the framework of world heritage, the simple prehistoric vessels or Early Watercraft have not been paid enough attention so far, although they definitely deserve it, as they represent the origins of the mankind’s navigational tradition.

Today these technologies have been technologically improved to the point that allows them to be merged for different purposes. The paper presents projects related to the successful combining of these technologies with regard to CH. In three case studies we discuss processes using 3D technologies for documenting and presenting artefacts, 3D collection by the Digital Library ...

EARLY WATERCRAFT by Kaja Antlej

Logboats, rafts, bark boats, and skin boats are among the oldest and most essential inventions of humankind, still used today by various indigenous cultures. Global existence suggests EW could be considered as one of the most exceptional universal cultural heritage despite being dispersed in diverse local and regional contexts around the world. Hence, more considerable attention should be given to this human achievement. In this paper, a new representation method for this dispersed and overlooked cultural heritage is proposed. For this purpose, a new para-digm scheme has been developed, connecting scattered scientific research with audi-ence engagement focused on disability inclusion with Design for All principles. The pro-posal will be exemplified with two case studies from Slovenia, and Australia later tested with a digital geospatial platform, the Early Watercraft Global Virtual Cultural Heritage Environment (EW GVCHE). Since EW is a shared and inclusive heritage, it can serve as a bridge between different continents, countries and time zones, which allows the crea-tion of a unique multi-user experience through immersive collaborative game design fo-cused on availability, accessibility, and connectivity. Simple computer indie games in-spire these low-cost and transferable solutions of short gamified Extended Reality (XR) experiences. Alongside the EW platform, the games will be accessed from various loca-tions, including museums, interpretation centres, schools, and retirement villages as portable pop-up experiences. In Slovenia, a Late Mesolithic logboat from Hotiza will be used first to develop and test the proposed framework. In Australia, the framework will be further investigated in close collaboration with Indigenous Australians, the custodians of the local EW. The proposed approach is intended to be applicable to different dis-persed heritage environments.
