Mr. Rahul Goswami, UNESCO-accredited facilitator, teaches classes.

Two years later, CRIHAP, in collaboration with the Intangible Cultural Heritage Department under the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, once again organized a training workshop for teachers who had the primary responsibility of educating under the Project but never participated in training on the Convention. The workshop is innovative and flexible in form. It closely combines the spirit of the Convention with the practical experience of ICH safeguarding in China.

Mr. Rahul Goswami, UNESCO-accredited facilitator, from an international perspective, focuses on “the basic concepts of the Convention”, “community participation”, “safeguarding plans and ethical principles”, “ICH and sustainable development” and “linking ICH and higher education". Combined with the new development of the Convention and the practice of ICH, he answered questions from the trainees to ensure that the integration of the Convention in colleges and universities is more pragmatic and effective.
