One-day conference explores the current place of folk arts in England in relation to the UK-wide implementation of the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural HeritageThis will be an inspiring day for practitioners, educators, arts organisations and academics who are engaging, or want to engage, with Intangible Cultural Heritage/Living Heritage discussions in England.
Noting the lack of unified ICH initiatives in England, the conference will provide inspiration for future projects and engagement. Through our keynote, invited speakers and presentations we will bring English perspectives into conversations with views and experiences from across the UK and beyond.
