Zhang Jing expressed the hope that through this workshop participants would be able to empower youth to safeguard intangible cultural heritage with the relevant knowledge of their majors. Zhang said that CRIHAP attaches great importance to the youth group and will continue to provide training activities for youth in the future.

Young people from China, Korea, Mongolia, Uzbekistan, the Philippines, Nepal and Cambodia attended the workshop. The training will last for one month and will be conducted through a combination of online lectures and offline filming practice.

During the online lectures from July 10 to 13, UNESCO facilitators Deirdre Prins-Solani and Linina Phuttitarn made full use of Slido, Padlet and other interactive platforms to conduct case sharing, quizzes and games to give detailed and vivid information about the Convention and safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage to the trainees.

In the following session, the trainees will be guided by the facilitators to engage in a 4-week offline intangible cultural heritage video filming practice, to discover and record the roles of youth in safeguarding, transmitting, innovating and promoting intangible cultural heritage.
