Organized from 14 October 2022 to 6 June 2023 by the UNESCO Chair on Intangible Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development, CY Cergy Paris University, CY Advanced Studies, CY Initiative d'excellence and UMR 9022 Heritage: Culture/s, Heritage/s, Creation/s, the webinar series on intangible cultural heritage and sustainable development aims to address the concept of "sustainable development" from the particular perspectives and areas of expertise of each UNESCO Chair (such as cultural diversity, education, comparative law, politics and law, applied studies, critical heritage studies, etc.).
As a reservoir of experiences that have evolved across cultures, intangible cultural heritage (ICP) offers inspiring examples of other ways of understanding the relationship to nature and the environment, healing and caring for one another, strengthen social ties and maintain livelihoods. In this sense, the ICP can be a vector of change and a resource to imagine other ways of living on a planet in danger, what is commonly called "sustainable development".
A series of 6 webinars entirely in English on intangible cultural heritage and sustainable development, from October to June 2023, brings together speakers from several UNESCO Chairs who will be confronted, at the end of the presentation, with discussants from other disciplines to open the debate.
