UNESCO is planning a workshop to introduce to the staff of the School for African Heritage (EPA) in Benin (11 to 17 April) the new pedagogical tools developed by UNESCO to help the implementation of the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The training material emphasizes the role of the States in taking the necessary measures to ensure the safeguarding of the intangible cultural heritage on their territories, such as adopting a general policy, designating competent bodies, fostering scientific studies and putting in place appropriate legal, technical, and administrative measures. The role of communities in identifying and transmitting intangible cultural heritage is also highlighted, as the importance of safeguarding intangible cultural heritage for sustainable development and social cohesion.

This training workshop, supported by the International Fund for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, will offer the staff of the School for African Heritage new opportunities to help future heritage managers in African countries.
