UNESCO, in collaboration with the International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in Asia-Pacific Region under the Auspices of UNESCO (ICHCAP), will hold an online webinar entitled ‘Monitoring Intangible Heritage in Education: Contributing to Heritage Safeguarding and to Achieving SDG4’ on 26 January from 1 to 2:30 p.m., Paris time. This webinar is generously sponsored by the Cultural Heritage Administration of the Republic of Korea.

Experts in the fields of intangible heritage and education gathered in December 2020, to discuss the education-related indicators of the Overall result framework for the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. This new online event will allow sharing the results of the expert meeting with the public, also providing concrete examples and case studies. A panel of distinguished experts will discuss the close relationship between each of the education-related indicators and the Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) on quality education highlighting the benefit of intersectoral monitoring providing first-hand advice on reporting on these indicators in the periodic reports of the State Parties.
