Project announcement: The Intangible Cultural Heritage & Museums Project
Call for museums !
Where do intangible cultural heritage (ICH) and museums meet? How can museums implement ICH in their policies and current day actions? These key questions drive the Intangible Cultural Heritage & Museums Project: IMP!
IMP is set out as a series of five seminars taking place consecutively in The Netherlands (November 2017), Italy (February 2018), Switzerland (September 2018), France (February 2019) and Belgium (May 2019).
Participants will get acquainted with the ins and outs of the Unesco 2003 Convention for the safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage and will share inspiring examples, reflections and experiences on how to safeguard ICH in museums. They will work together towards the compilation of an inspirational and practical toolbox. This hands-on toolbox aims to inspire and coach museum professionals in their efforts and actions for safeguarding intangible cultural heritage and for supporting the multiple stakeholders involved.
SAVE THE DATE
The first in this series of five seminars takes place atRotterdam Museum on November 7 and 8, 2017 and will take a closer look into how the paradigm of Intangible Cultural Heritage, as put forth in the UNESCO 2003 Convention, can help museums tackle challenges related to the current day (super)diverse society and the rich diversity of ICH practices present there.
