¿Qué es el desarrollo de políticas para la salvaguardia del patrimonio cultural inmaterial? ¿Cuáles son las necesidades en este campo en América Latina y el Caribe? ¿Cómo se encaja este tema en el programa global de la UNESCO de fortalecimiento de capacidades para la aplicación de la Convención para la Salvaguardia del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial? Estas cuestiones serán abordadas en un taller de capacitación que tendrá lugar en Lima, Perú, del 3 al 7 de octubre de 2016, sobre la prestación de apoyo a la elaboración de políticas en el ámbito del patrimonio cultural inmaterial, en América Latina y el Caribe. A este evento acudirán más de 35 participantes, entre los que habrá 12 miembros de la red de expertos-facilitadores de la UNESCO experimentados en el suministro de servicios de formación y asesoramiento en el marco del programa global de fortalecimiento de las capacidades, así como 12 funcionarios de las Oficinas fuera de la Sede de la Organización encargados de coordinar el programa en la región.

La UNESCO es la organizadora de este evento, en colaboración con el Centro Regional para la Salvaguardia del Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de América Latina (CRESPIAL). Este taller es el tercero que se celebra en la región latinoamericana y caribeña con vistas a fortalecer la red de expertos-facilitadores. Sus objetivos son: proporcionar a los miembros de esta red una serie de conocimientos e instrumentos necesarios para prestar apoyo a las políticas relacionadas con el PCI; y hacer un balance de la aplicación del programa de fortalecimiento de capacidades en América Latina y el Caribe desde 2013.

Strengthening sub-regional cooperation and national capacities to effectively safeguard intangible cultural heritage through the reinforcement of legislative, institutional and policy frameworks.
This workshop will be organized with the participants from Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe and possibly from Mozambique.

The training workshop was jointly organized by UNESCO Beijing Office, the National Authority for the Protection of Cultural Heritage (NAPCH), and the National Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea for UNESCO, with the financial contribution from the International Training Centre for Intangible Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region Category 2 Centre under the auspices of UNESCO (CRIHAP). The workshop was part of CRIHAP’s work plan for FY 2016 and was organized under the framework of UNESCO’s global capacity-building programme on strengthening capacities to effectively implement the 2003 Convention of the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Since the ratification of the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in 2008, a number of capacity building training workshops were organized in Pyongyang by UNESCO Beijing in 2010, 2011 (National Safeguarding Awareness-Raising workshop) and 2013 (Training Workshop on the Implementation of 2003 Convention). This workshop was a follow-up to the past workshops and focused on ICH inventorying through community participation.

Zambia conducted a workshop on community based ICH inventory and inventoried 3 elements. This activity took place from 25-29 July 2016 in Kabwe, Central Province and a total of 18 participants, including 5 community members were trained and awarded certificates of successful completion of the training. The workshop was designed to reaffirm the capacity of some of the experts that were trained in Kabwe in 2014 by allowing them to facilitate different sessions of the community inventory training modules. At the end of the facilitation programme, 5 participants who excelled were awarded certificates to practice as ICH Experts.

This activity is part a second phase of the ICH project financed by the Government of Flanders and implemented by the UNESCO Field Office in Harare, Zimbabwe. The Intangible Cultural Heritage Section at the UNESCO Headquarter provided technical support throughout the process of the activity.

El Ministerio de Cultura y Patrimonio y el Instituto Nacional de Patrimonio Cultural de Ecuador (INPC) organizan, junto con la oficina de la UNESCO en Quito, el último de una serie de tres talleres sobre el desarrollo de herramientas de política pública para la salvaguardia del patrimonio cultural inmaterial, del 13 al 16 de junio de 2016 en Puerto López (provincia de Manabí).

Inicialmente previsto en Portoviejo, también en la provincia de Manabí que se vio seriamente afectada por el seísmo del 16 de abril, este taller se apoyará en la metodología del PNUD de evaluación de necesidades para la recuperación post-desastre en relación con la revisión de planes de desarrollo, desde de la perspectiva de la salvaguardia del patrimonio cultural inmaterial en un contexto de post-desastre.

Los aproximadamente 25 participantes de las oficinas regionales del Ministerio de Cultura y Patrimonio y del INPC, representantes de la Secretaría Nacional de Planificación y Desarrollo y miembros de comunidades que asistirán a este taller provienen de regiones gravemente afectadas por el seísmo.

El taller forma parte de un proyecto de dos años, apoyado por el Gobierno de Japón, para fortalecer las capacidades humanas e institucionales en materia de salvaguardia del patrimonio cultural inmaterial en Ecuador.

El año pasado, se organizaron actividades sobre la confección de inventarios con participación de las comunidades en Portoviejo para sensibilizar y reforzar a las sinergias.

Esta nueva etapa del proyecto permitirá a los participantes reflexionar sobre el impacto de las políticas públicas en la salvaguardia del patrimonio cultural inmaterial, desde un enfoque de género y de derechos humanos en el contexto del plan de desarrollo ecuatoriano del “Buen Vivir”.

As a state party to the Convention since 2006 and a participant in international meetings and mechanisms (sessions of the IGC and GA, expert groups, regional meetings, submission of nominations and inscriptions on the RL), Romania has already proven its interest in the workings of the Convention. This workshop comes as a step forward in enhancing the implementation of the Convention in more concrete and substantial terms, primarily as regards the issues of community participation, elaboration of safeguarding activities, bottom-up inventorying, roles of different types of stakeholders and the coordination between them.
Despite quite frequent political changes and the understaffed relevant sections in the Ministry of Culture, one can recognize the intention of tracing a coherent national policy concerning the safeguarding of ICH. The above mentioned legal framework contributes toward this direction. The National Inventory and Registry, as two complementary instruments of identification of the ICH, have been elaborated by experts in the field of ethnology and folklore studies, cooperating closely with the officials from the Ministry of Culture, as well as with representatives of communities concerned.
The planned and carried out CB workshop on the implementation of the 2003 Convention at national level proved to be useful. Its objectives touched the core national needs, especially in terms of comprehension of key concepts of the Convention and their clarification through concrete case studies that were thoroughly discussed.

The field exercise in Suriname was organized jointly by the National Commission, the Department of Cultural Studies (Directorate of Culture) and the Foundation Na Afrikan Kultura fu Sranan (NAKS). Suriname focused its field exercise on the national dress of Suriname – the koto, and its associated dances and songs by persons who made these dresses. Twelve persons were trained representing 7 females and 5 males who came largely from the youth department of NAKS – Wan Rutu.

The exercise revealed unknown koto experts and practitioners who were willing to contribute, and the interviews revealed that the type of music traditionally performed at ‘Koto Dansi,’ parties where all women are dressed in Koto, needed urgent revitalization.
