Co-organized by CRIHAP and the Intangible Cultural Heritage Department under Ministry of Culture and Tourism of The People’s Republic of China, the Workshop of the Training Project for ICH Bearers and Practitioners was held in Shanghai from Aug 19 to 23, 2019.

Sixty-four scholars and teachers from 62 colleges and universities in 32 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities participating in the Training Project for Chinese ICH Bearers and Practitioners attended the workshop.

To enhance the deeper understanding of ICH safeguarding theoretically among Chinese universities, CRIHAP was entrusted by the Intangible Cultural Heritage Department under the Ministry of Culture (now is the Ministry of Culture and Tourism) to organize the Training of Trainers Workshop on 2003 Convention in November 2016 and April 2017 for university teachers participating in the Project. CRIHAP invited international facilitators to introduce the basic concepts, ideas, main tasks and practice rules of the Convention to trainees.

These two training workshops achieved remarkable results, effectively improving the understanding of the concept of ICH safeguarding among teachers participating in the Project, and training a number of experts and scholars both theoretically and practically. This ensures the implementation of the Project and the dissemination and promotion of the Convention among Chinese universities.
