This workshop is the second activity within the framework of the capacity-building project “Strengthening national capacities for safeguarding intangible cultural heritage in Sudan”, generously supported by Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority (ADTCA). Held from 23 to 24 September 2018, it aims to raise awareness among decision makers (State Ministers from different ministries and other responsible in the field of culture at the decentralised level) on the importance of living heritage as a vector of cultural diversity, as well as on the mechanisms of the 2003 Convention.
