Learning with living heritage: A Synergetic Approach to the Future of Education
Education plays a key role in safeguarding intangible cultural heritage, ensuring the transmission of traditional know-how to future generations; in turn, living heritage can provide context-specific content and pedagogy for education programmes, improving the relevance, the quality and outcomes of education. On this subject, the two back-to-back events organised last October in Sofia, Bulgaria, convened 19 representatives from 13 countries in South-East Europe and 18 experts from the European branch of the global network of UNESCO-trained facilitators on Intangible Cultural Heritage to explore and advance the integration of living heritage into education at policy and operational levels.
