© UNESCO

The meeting was organized within the framework of the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage and the priority on ‘Safeguarding intangible cultural heritage in formal and non-formal education’. It included field office colleagues from both the Education and Culture Sectors as well as consultants who have been working on concrete country and/or sub-regional level initiatives related to integrating intangible cultural heritage in education.

The main objectives of the meeting were to:

  • Take stock of progress made over the biennium on implementing the new priority on ‘Safeguarding intangible cultural heritage in formal and non-formal education’;
  • Share lessons learned and promising practices thus far; and
  • Discuss and define areas of possible continued and future collaboration, in particular for the 40 C/5 workplans.
