ICAG-Seminar - Exploring Living Heritage for a Sustainable Future

On the 14th of November, we organised the international webinar, "Exploring Living Heritage for a Sustainable Future – Insights from the International 'Water & Land' Project."

At the heart of the webinar is the Flemish-Dutch "Water & Land" project, an innovative project led by the Centre for Agrarian History (CAG) and the Dutch Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage (KIEN). By promoting and enhancing the role of living heritage in climate change adaptation, the project aims to provide policymakers with insights and recommendations while supporting heritage communities in safeguarding these practices.

Laura Danckaert and Chantal Bisschop from CAG, along with Jet Bakels from KIEN, shared key findings and preliminary conclusions from the project.

Chiara Bortolotto from UNESCO Chair in Intangible Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development at CY Cergy Paris University, introduced the broader context on intangible cultural heritage and contribution to sustainable development.
