On July 6, 2026, the Capacity Building Workshop on Teaching and Learning with East Asian ICH (Session 3), co-organized by the International Training Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region (CRIHAP) and the UNESCO Regional Office for East Asia, will commence in Nanjing, Jiangsu province.

This four-day workshop will be co-facilitated by UNESCO facilitators Linina Phuttitarn and Vanessa Achilles. Through a dynamic blend of plenary lectures, group discussions, role-playing exercises, and field visits, the programme places strong emphasis on cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral collaboration. It aims to equip educators and cultural practitioners with practical tools and strategies to jointly design curricula, co-develop teaching resources, and collaboratively plan and implement projects that integrate living heritage into both formal and non-formal education. Furthermore, the workshop seeks to generate replicable concepts and methodologies that can be adapted and scaled up across diverse national and regional contexts.
