Virtual conference on Safeguarding intangible cultural heritage through TVET

Please sign up here to join the virtual conference

‘Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) means the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills – as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated therewith – that communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals recognize as part of their cultural heritage’ (Article 2.1 of the Convention). Thus, ICH, amongst other things, includes performing arts and traditional artisanship (Article 2.2 of the Convention), which are also found in technical and vocational education and training (TVET).

The Convention states that ‘safeguarding’ includes measures that ensure the viability of the intangible cultural heritage, encompassing transmission, particularly through formal and non-formal education.

Although the important role TVET can play to safeguard ICH has been widely acknowledged, many questions remain about how TVET stakeholders can get involved. This virtual conference will elaborate on what ICH means, and explore the links between ICH and TVET.
