Monitoring Living Heritage in Education: Contributing to Heritage Safeguarding and to Achieving SDG
- Date19 Jan 2024
Introduction
This event is organized with the aim to
raise awareness for the benefits and challenges of monitoring living heritage
in education by sharing the results from the previous online expert meeting on
‘Education-related indicators in the Overall Results Framework for the 2003
Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage and their
relationship with SDG4’.
The intersectoral expert meeting that was
held in three sessions in December 2020 was a platform for international
experts in the field of culture and education from across the world to deepen
the understanding of the education-related indicators and demonstrate more
clearly the linkages this has with the reporting on the progress towards
quality education for sustainable development and peace. It generated important
knowledge on the interface between living heritage and education, identified
examples to illustrate this relationship and provided advice for future
monitoring and reporting in these related fields. The webinar welcomes all governmental
and non-governmental stakeholders interested in culture and education to join
this debate on monitoring living heritage in education.

Objective |
Raise awareness for the benefits and
challenges of monitoring living heritage in education by sharing results and
examples from an expert meeting on education-related indicators in the
Overall results framework for the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the
Intangible Cultural Heritage and their relation to the indicators of Sustainable
Development Goal 4 (SDG 4). |
Description |
The Convention for the Safeguarding of
the Intangible Cultural Heritage was adopted by UNESCO in 2003 with the
primary purpose of ensuring the viability of this significant heritage.
Intangible cultural heritage – or living heritage – refers to the knowledge,
practices, and expressions that are passed on from generation to generation,
in families and communities everywhere around the world. Inter-generational transmission as a creative, dynamic, interactive process
is essential for ensuring that this living heritage is constantly recreated
and passed on from one generation to the next. Education can play a valuable
role in safeguarding intangible cultural heritage. This is the reason why the
2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage
includes a reference to ‘transmission, particularly through formal and
non-formal education, as part of the proposed safeguarding measures (Article
2.3). Accordingly, the overall results framework for the 2003 Convention
(available since 2018) includes as one of eight thematic areas ‘transmission
of intangible cultural heritage and education. While a better understanding of the role of intangible cultural heritage and
its importance in achieving SDG 4, in particular target 4.7, has emerged,
reporting against the specific education-related indicators of the overall
results framework of the Convention remains challenging for stakeholders from
both the culture and education fields. The linkages to demonstrate more
clearly how this reporting can inform the monitoring system on SDG 4 have not
yet been explored either. Therefore, UNESCO organized, in collaboration with ICHCAP an intersectoral
online expert meeting on ‘Education-related indicators in the Overall results
framework (ORF) for the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible
Cultural Heritage and their relationship with SDG 4. This online meeting,
held in three sessions in December 2020, generated important knowledge on the
interface between living heritage and education, identified examples to
illustrate the relationship, and provided advice for future monitoring and
reporting in these related fields. The public webinar aims to raise awareness for the benefits and challenges of
monitoring living heritage in education by sharing the results of the
above-mentioned intersectoral expert meeting. It will include a brief
presentation on the education-related indicators of the ORF and how they can
inform the monitoring system of SDG 4. Speakers will be invited to share
their experiences and discuss the benefits of this intersectoral monitoring
to inspire relevant stakeholders from the education and culture fields to
undertake their own initiatives in this innovative intersectoral field. The
event will include a question and answer session with the audience. |
Audience |
Governmental and non-governmental
stakeholders with an interest in education and culture. |
