According to the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), "’intangible cultural heritage’ means the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills – as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated therewith – that communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals recognize as part of their cultural heritage". Intangible Cultural Heritage is usually transmitted from generation to generation, constantly recreated by communities and groups in response to their environment, their interaction with nature and their history. ICH provides to the communities and groups a sense of identity and continuity, thus promoting respect for cultural diversity and human creativity.
Examples of ICH include community gatherings, oral traditions, songs, knowledge of natural spaces, healing traditions, foods, holidays, beliefs, cultural practices, skills of making handicrafts, methods of agriculture and cattle breeding, traditional navigation skills, cooking skills and winery, etc. Elements of this heritage are integral parts to life in both rural and urban areas, as well as among Indigenous Peoples. Intangible cultural heritage is "traditional, contemporary and living at the same time." It is inclusive, representative, and community-based.
Seminar participants are expected to independently choose their own example of ICH in a European country and work on it according to the general principles of academic work and presentation.
Requirements:
Active, regular participation as well as preparation and follow-up of the seminar sessions; investigation of an own case study on ICH; presentation of results in oral and written form in individual and/or group work. Further details will follow in the first seminar session.
