  • UNESCO and Asahi organize event in Nara to promote intangible cultural heritage
    “The Future of Intangible Cultural Heritage” will be celebrated on 8 August in the former Japanese capital Nara. UNESCO and the Asahi Shimbun Company, publisher of one of the leading Japanese daily newspapers, are organizing jointly a symposium and an evening event to raise awareness among the general public of intangible cultural heritage and the challenges of its safeguarding. Some 500 people are expected to attend the afternoon symposium where the Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matuura, and the internationally renowned Vietnamese-born ethnomusicologist, Tran Quang Hai, will discuss the crucial importance of safeguarding intangible cultural heritage for the present and for the future of society. The event is being organized within the framework of a partnership agreement between UNESCO and Asahi to promote intangible cultural heritage.
