values of the past. It represents a unique value that goes beyond national borders and is important to the present
and future generations of all mankind. Everyday globalization trends pose a great risk of losing the individuality of individual
regions and nations. And that is why the world heritage should be a matter of course. In order to preserve the heritage, it
is necessary to pass on the importance of the natural and social heritage to the young generation as a priority of the quality
of life of present and future generations. The aim of the paper is to provide a comprehensive picture and wake the reader
interest about this issue, and of course to encourage geography teachers to develop their pupils in this spirit. Although the
education system allows work on the development of individuals who know, respect and preserve their natural and cultural
heritage, but not to the extent that can be expected. The first part of the contribution briefly characterizes the individual
monuments of UNESCO in Croatia. The second part of the paper analyses Croatian monuments UNESCO in the context of
the content standard in elementary schools in Croatia and Slovakia.
