Over the course of five days, the workshop will discuss several topics, all of which serve the heritage service. It begins with the definition of the 2003 convention, how to implement it at the national level, and how it relates to other conventions. Moreover, the programme includes a number of topics that include introducing the global capacity building programme, participation and interest in intangible cultural heritage, in addition to sessions, discussions, and interactive questions and answers.
The topics also include a review of the objectives, function, scope and expected results, in addition to ethics and ethical principles in preserving intangible cultural heritage, and engaging relevant communities. The topics also include field preparations, as well as a summary of the elements of intangible cultural heritage and field sites, exchange of experiences, fieldwork, lessons learned, intangible cultural heritage and sustainable development goals, addressing the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage and protection plans, developing policies related to the preservation of intangible cultural heritage and other important topics.
It is worth noting that the Centre works under the auspices of the UNESCO to implement short- and long-term programmes and activities to build capacity in the field of safeguarding intangible cultural heritage, based on the programme developed by the UNESCO for the effective implementation of the 2003 Convention, and the adaptation of capacity-building materials and data, developed by the “UNESCO”, to suit the regional context and ensure its translation into Arabic.
Cultural Feast – Adel Alhaimi Interprets for Sharjah Art Foundation
SHARJAH MARCH 2018: Red Sea’s Adel Alhaimi was recently invited to participate in the Sharjah Art Foundation’s March Meeting and was privileged to enjoy a cultural feast while in the process of interpreting.
As the Art Foundation puts it, the March Meeting is an “annual gathering of artists, art professionals and institutions concerned with the production and dissemination of art in the region and internationally”.
The various exhibitions, performances and discussions stretched from the 16th to the 19th of March 2018 and were spread across a number of venues, from Al Mujeijah Square to the old planetarium.
Adel enjoyed the creative and stimulating discussions but also commented on the challenges faced by the simultaneous interpreter in capturing and conveying the aesthetic sense of creative pieces – as well as remaining true to the style of the artists striving to express their deep and often complex world views.
