The 24 participants, comprising of cultural officers, scholars and actual ICH practitioners, will acquire hands-on skills in elaborating nomination dossiers and learn how to use the lists of the 2003 Convention as an effective tool for safeguarding intangible cultural heritage. Combining theoretical training on how to devise community-based safeguarding measures and practical exercises of evaluating mock nominations, the workshop provides an opportunity to clarify the different objectives of each of the international mechanisms established by the Convention so policy-makers can use them in the most appropriate and effective manner.
The five-day training workshop that is facilitated by two members of the network of UNESCO-trained experts, includes a practical field exercise with local communities in Inle Lake.
