A five day workshop focused on the elaboration of requests for International Assistance to the Intangible Cultural Heritage Fund and on preparation of nomination files for inscription on the Lists under the Convention will be organised through the Project Coordination Team. The training will target government officials, as well as members of the academia and experts from civil society. In total, 20 people are expected to benefit from this training.

Through the workshop, the participants will acquire the basic knowledge and skills required to elaborate nominations to the Two Lists under the 2003 Convention, notably the Urgent Safeguarding List and Representative List. They will also acquire skills in the preparation of requests for International Assistance. One international UNESCO trained expert, supported by a national expert will facilitate the training workshop.

At the end of the workshop, participants will also select a core group of experts to create a National Task Team that will be given responsibility to spearhead implementation of the recommendations made during the implementation of the different activities for the safeguarding of intangible heritage in Eritrea.
