The aim of the Nordic-Baltic ICH network is to share good practices and methodology on safeguarding intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in Nordic and Baltic countries. The network emphasizes community involvement and is open for all stakeholders working in the spirit of the UNESCO Convention for Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Network’s activities include organizing seminars, webinars, meetings, expert exchange and raising awareness on ICH in the region.
The theme suggested by network members will be to explore the different national inventories.
The webinar that is open for all.
The secretary of the 2003 Convention, Tim Curtis, will give an introductory to the theme before we will hear short presentations on different national inventories. We will discuss in smaller groups how national inventories can be tools for community-based safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage. Bring your own perspective to the discussion, e.g. representativeness, good examples, threatened elements, minorities etc. A panel will reflect on the future possibilities of the national inventories as tool for safeguarding intangible cultural heritage. In addition, it will be given information from the committee.
