MedINA, through its Executive Director, Alexis Katsaros, had the pleasure and honour of participating in the UNESCO Expert Meeting (Category VI) on the Economic Dimensions of the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, which took place in Paris on 27 and 28 September.
Τhe Expert Meeting on the Economic Dimensions of the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage was convened as part of the thematic initiatives of the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The group of 26 experts, representing all geographical regions of the world, was invited to participate in the meeting to prepare guidelines on the subject (Decision 17.COM 10 and Decision 14.COM 10), exploring ways to maximise the positive impact of economic activities on the conservation of living cultural heritage and sustainable development for communities, groups and individuals, while mitigating their negative impacts.
The draft guidelines resulting from the consultation will be presented to the Intergovernmental Committee at its eighteenth session (4 to 9 December 2023, Kasane, Republic of Botswana).
