Roundtable on preserving Arab heritage
The International Center for Capacity Building in the Field of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Arab Countries, in cooperation with the UNESCO Regional Office for the Gulf States and Yemen, organized a virtual roundtable discussion focusing on the role of civil society organizations in safeguarding intangible cultural heritage in Arab countries. The discussions emphasized the importance of activating the role of these organizations as key partners in protecting heritage and supporting certification under the 2003 Convention. They also addressed initiatives to document traditional knowledge related to herbs and medicinal plants, as well as the possibility of establishing an Arab network of civil society organizations and developing electronic platforms to facilitate communication and foster joint projects. These initiatives aim to support efforts to preserve living heritage and promote sustainable funding, with a focus on enhancing collaboration among relevant organizations and institutions in the region.
