Our Deputy Director Dr Winnie Law and Assistant Director Katie Chick participated at the Asia-Pacific Higher Education Network for Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage (APHEN-ICH) General Meeting and Conference in Kathmandu, Nepal between September 21-23, 2024.<\/p>\n

The conference theme for this year is \u201cIntangible Cultural Heritage for Building Community Resilience: Contexts of Disasters and Climate Change\u201d where presenters discussed the challenges and solutions for safeguarding ICH as the risks associated with earthquake, flooding, storm surge, etc. have significantly increased.<\/p>\n

Many scholars and practitioners at the conference have stressed on the importance of community involvement. The \u201cLiving Heritage\u201d approach where the community is actively involved and interacted with the ICH is a key to building resilience against the climate\u2019s impact on heritage.<\/p>\n
