Celebrating the diverse living heritage of humanity in Chengdu

States Parties to the UNESCO 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, UNESCO offices and international experts from the Asia-Pacific region met in Chengdu, China from 16-19 October to celebrate the achievements of CRIHAP – the International Training Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region under the auspices of UNESCO – in the past seven years.

CRIHAP Category 2 Centre invited beneficiary countries and partners to reflect on the accomplishments since its foundation in 2012 in building the capacities of governments and communities alike to better safeguard the living traditions in this culturally rich and diverse region. The meeting served also to discuss the way forward and strategically link the needs of the region in terms of capacity-building with the support that CRIHAP could offer in line with its mandate.

The review meeting gathered participants from 14 countries that have benefited from CRIHAP’s support in the Asia and the Pacific region, including Cambodia, China, Fiji, Kazakhstan, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Thailand, Tonga, Uzbekistan and Viet Nam. Six UNESCO-accredited facilitators from the region were also present to facilitate discussions and provide their experience from the field. The meeting gave also a platform to UNESCO Field Offices to share common challenges and ideas for future collaboration. Eight were the offices represented, including Almaty, Bangkok, Beijing, Dhaka, Ha Noi, Phnom Penh, Teheran and Tashkent. The other Category 2 Centres in the field of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) from the sub-region, ICHCAP and IRCI, were also invited, as well as 31 observers from 24 Chinese provinces and municipalities.

States Parties were given the opportunity to present the results of CRIHAP’s interventions in their respective countries and the broader impact the training workshops had in the framework of ICH safeguarding, introducing best practices and positive mid-term outcomes. Participants then discussed in sub-regional groups the challenges faced and put forward some suggestions to improve the future work of the Centre, voicing also current needs for training – recurrent topics include ICH and education, ICH and emergencies and ICH and sustainable development, among others.

The meeting was organized as a side event of the Chengdu International Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival. This year, its seventh edition took place from 17-22 October. Opened by the Chinese Minister of Culture and Tourism, Mr Luo Shugang and a video message by UNESCO’s Assistant Director-General for Culture, Mr Ernesto Ottone R., the Festival brought together bearers, practitioners, experts and ICH enthusiasts from China and the world. Organized by the Chengdu Municipal Government and the China Intangible Cultural Heritage Centre, the Festival received patronage by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China, the People’s Government of Sichuan Province, the Chinese National Commission for UNESCO and UNESCO.

Several initiatives were organized around Chengdu and in the whole Sichuan province during the days of the festival, including exhibitions, competitions, performances, tours and forums to celebrate the power and beauty of diverse cultural expressions. UNESCO participated in one of the forums under the theme of ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage and Tourism Development’ contributing to the discussion on the opportunities that living heritage can offer in enriching tourism experiences as well as the challenges communities and countries face in promoting a balanced and sustainable approach.

UNESCO Beijing was also present at the exhibition organized within the Festival with a display on the World Heritage Sustainable Livelihood activities promoted through a longstanding cooperation with the private sector for the conservation and management of World Heritage sites in China. Practitioners from Chishui, China Danxia World Heritage site and Shilin, South China Karst World Heritage sites showcased products and demonstrated their traditional craftsmanship in bamboo weaving and Sani embroidery respectively. The exhibition also presented how traditional practices can inspire the development of creative craft products as sustainable means of livelihoods, income generation and poverty alleviation.

The review meeting on CRIHAP’s capacity-building workshops organized from 2012-2018 concluded with a consolidated set of recommendations that will guide their future work in the region, in terms of content, logistics, administration and strategy. Participants bid farewell to Chengdu with a cultural excursion to the Pengzhou Ceramic Whiteware Art Centre, a creative hub inspired by the traditional local culture of ceramic production – an example of projecting traditions into the future.
