Conversations on Intangible Cultural Heritage
Do you work in cultural heritage? Are you passionate about cultural preservation? Are you working in the area of language, arts, or heritage? Do you work with communities or with governments? Please join us at the ‘Conversations on Intangible Cultural Heritage’ conference on May 17 and 24, on-line.
The aim of this is to draw on the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage and to initiate a national dialogue about ICH. The dialogue will be set over a span of two days and will bring in practitioners, governments, community members, academics, students, and other stakeholders interested in heritage. By initiating conversations, the conference hopes to raise awareness and visibility about the importance of ICH, support knowledge-exchange and resource mobilization, promote initiatives and good practices, and contribute to the development and growth of the ICH network in Canada.
