ONGOING PROJECT
Supported by Japan, Republic of Korea and Norway, UNESCO has introduced a workshop series in 14 beneficiary countries in the Asia-Pacific Region. The workshops target not only governmental personnel but also members of communities, ICH bearers and practitioners and individual researchers, who play vital roles in processes of the implementation of the Convention in their countries.
PAST PROJECT
UNESCO, with support from Gangneung City, Republic of Korea, and the Korean National Commission for UNESCO, has launched a pilot project to document a selection of traditional children’s games from the Asia-Pacific region. This project commenced in 2010 by groups of researchers from 4 countries: Cambodia, Lao PDR, Malaysia and Thailand. 14 ethnic groups were reflected in the documentation.
