Preparing nominations to the Lists and Register of the Convention – updated training materials following the global reflection on the listing mechanisms (2018-2022)
The listing mechanisms of the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage have been successful in raising awareness and enhancing the safeguarding of living heritage of communities around the world. In particular, the Representative List, Urgent Safeguarding List and the Registry of Good Safeguarding Practices highlight the significance of intangible cultural heritage, encourage the involvement of a broad spectrum of national and international stakeholders for its safeguarding, and foster a positive recognition of its fundamental importance for sustainable development. After four years of an inclusive reflection process between 2018 and 2022, the global reflection on the listing mechanisms led to the creation and improvement of a number of procedures which are reflected in the 2003 Convention’s Operational Directives (2024 edition) as amended by the General Assembly of States Parties at its nineth session in 2022 (Resolution 9.GA 9).
The purpose of this training is to inform facilitators of the 2003 Convention’s global capacity-building programme about the adjustments made to the listing mechanisms of the 2003 Convention with a focus on nominations of elements for inscription on its Lists and proposals for the Register based on the revised set of nomination-related forms (Form ICH-01 series, ICH-02 series as well as ICH-03 and ICH-05).
This session is part of the 2025 training programme for the global facilitators network, which takes a two-way approach to both update facilitators’ knowledge in key thematic areas and provide opportunities for experience sharing.
