Bringing Living Heritage to the Classroom in Asia-Pacific to Promote Transformative Education
Bringing living heritage to school will enhance education quality, enliven the experiences of students and teachers, and contribute to keeping this heritage alive for current and future generations. UNESCO, in collaboration with two Category 2 Centers ICHCAP and APCEIU, and under patronage of ROK Cultural Heritage Administration, will organize a side event ‘Bringing living heritage to the classroom to promote transformative education’, in the framework of the Asia-Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development 2022.
Targeting educators, culture experts, school managers, policy makers and relevant stakeholders, the side event will showcase the experiences gained in six pilot countries (Cambodia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Republic of Korea and Thailand) in promoting the teaching and learning with living heritage in Asia-Pacific. Key resources and guidance for education managers, teachers and others interested in education and culture will be introduced, thus raising awareness among educators, policy makers and relevant stakeholders in Asia-Pacific on why and how to integrate intangible cultural heritage in teaching and learning in schools throughout the region.
