| Description |
UNESCO 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage not only plays a great role in safeguarding cultural diversity and its transmission, but also brings people of the World closer together in a spirit of mutual understanding and peaceful cooperation. Intangible Cultural Heritage gives us a good chance for intercultural exchange and dialogue of peace. Aware of this and benefitting of the active lead and support of UNESCO its member states, in particular the countries in the North East Asia - People’s Republic of China, Japan, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the Republic of Korea and Mongolia - made Intangible Cultural Heritage one of their cultural regional cooperation activities and priorities. In this framework we will focus on some ICH related North-East regional projects and joint activities which were held in Mongolia with very active participation of the delegation from the DPRK. First of all I would like to take an example “2006 Children's Performing Arts Festival in North-East Asia in Mongolia” which was organized under Director-General of UNESCO Mr. Koichiro Matsura : |
