This online workshop focuses on questions around UNESCO’s recognition of Intangible Cultural Heritage;  its identification, protection and sustainability; the role of the associated community; and, the connection of intangible heritage to tangible heritage – place and object. Live, real-time sessions combine theoretical discussion with practical examples. There is an online discussion forum to continue the conversation with other practitioners between live sessions.
