Introduction
With the aim of ‘establishing mechanisms to
ensure the effective sharing of information related to ICH safeguarding;’
‘build, strengthen, and maintain networks among concerned communities, groups,
and individual bearers of ICH, as well as relevant non-governmental
organizations and civil society associations; and organize public events as
appropriate;’ build, strengthen and maintain networks to exchange information
and knowledge concerning the safeguarding of ICH, among relevant actors and
institutions (Article 6.2. [a], [c], [d] of the Agreement to establish ICHCAP),
ICHCAP intends to undertake activities to enhance access to and the
availability of ICH information and strengthen information and networking
capacity, targeting ICH stakeholders, within the framework of ICHCAP’s
projects.
As part of these efforts, ICHCAP has teamed
up with Korea-Central Asia Cooperation Forum Secretariat and IICAS to develop a
survey about ICH festivals along the Silk Roads. This program is the first
phase of a longer-term commitment to extend the network to include other ICH
forms in the future.
ICHCAP has supported ICH networking in
Central Asia, the northern Silk Roads axis, for the past decade. ICHCAP and
Uzbekistan signed a three-party MOU to activate the Silk Road intangible
cultural heritage network in 2019, which was followed by a Central Asia
Sub-regional network meeting in Almaty, Kazakhstan, 2019.
The 2020 webinar features Helena
Norberg-Hodge, a world-renowned ecologist and author of Ancient Futures, as the
first speaker, and she talks about “Human, Environment and the Silk Road.” In
addition, Dr. Seong-Yong Park of ICHCAP, an expert in cultural development and
networking, will present “Silk Road Intangible Heritage Cooperation Mechanism”
based on experience establishing various networks of the ICH field in the
Asia-Pacific including Central Asia over the past decade. In addition, Alisher
Ikramov of the Central Asian Studies Research Institute at IICAS and an
authority on regional studies on the Silk Roads is scheduled to present
“Viability and Sustainability of the Silk Road Intangible Heritage Festivals.”
As the fourth speaker, installation artist Dongjo Yoo, who has appealed for the
importance of harmony between humans and the environment throughout his life,
shall speak about his installation art activities and present the
Water-Presentation Installation Project that longs for the coexistence of
humans and nature on the Silk Roads along with future collaborative works among
