UNESCO concludes two-day online workshop on the role of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Sustainable Development
More than 23 participants actively engaged in the workshop, which examined different aspects of intangible cultural heritage and its contributions to economic development, social development, environmental sustainability, and peace and security. The sessions showcased successful examples from around the world and included discussions on the goals and targets related to culture, along with advocacy for a stand-alone culture goal in the post-2030 development agenda.
Dr. Maissoun Sharkawi, a member of the UNESCO network of facilitators trained to deliver capacity-building services on the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, facilitated the workshop. She shared, "The training was remarkably engaging, thanks to the energy and commitment of the participants. It felt truly interactive as we explored examples of elements of intangible cultural heritage and how they are tied to multiple Sustainable Development Goals."
