Seminar "Intangible Cultural Heritage in Nature: Spaces, Resources and Practices

This seminar aims at discussing the legal aspects of various interactions between safeguarding intangible cultural heritage (ICH) and environmental protection including management of natural resources. In the seminar closer look will be taken at regulations within environmental law that are highly relevant to the safeguarding of ICH, even if they do not make an explicit reference to this legal concept. The discussion is intended to foster both comparative and interdisciplinary views, bringing together legal scholars and ethnologists from different countries as well as representatives of communities. This will allow presenting a variety of lessons learned through case studies, theoretical and historical analyses tackling interactions between the national and the regional levels.

Working language of the seminar – English.
