ABOUT THE PROJECT

A pilot project on integrating living heritage in museum's collection planning and management

For the past two years, Workshop Intangible Heritage (and partners) has worked together with a Learning Network of 25 Flemish national and regional museums to take the first steps into the integration of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) in collection and policy plans of Flemish museums in the pilot project 'Plans for the future: ICH understood'.

The Conference marks the end of the project 'ICH understood', and the beginning of our continued journey of researching safeguarding ICH together with the Learning Network and other types of collection managing organizations.

During this online event, the results of the project will be shared with the broader, international cultural heritage sector, both in Flanders and in Europe (in English and in Dutch). Workshop Intangible Heritage, partners, living labs museums* and members of the Learning Network will share their experiences, knowledge gained and the next steps in the search for the integration of ICH in museum collection and policy plans.

The Conference will be held in English. Using this format, we want to share our experience with the international cultural heritage field.

OVER HET PROJECT

Een pilootproject over het integreren van immaterieel cultureel erfgoed in museale collectiebeleidsplannen

De afgelopen twee jaar werkte Werkplaats immaterieel erfgoed (en partners) samen met een Lerend Netwerk van 25 Vlaamse nationale en regionale musea om de eerste stappen te zetten in de integratie van immaterieel cultureel erfgoed (ICE) in collectie- en beleidsplannen van Vlaamse musea in het pilootproject 'Plannen voor de toekomst: ICE (in)begrepen'.

De conferentie markeert het einde van het project 'ICE (in)begrepen', en het begin van onze verdere zoektocht naar het veiligstellen van ICE.

Tijdens dit online evenement zullen de resultaten van het project gedeeld worden met de bredere, internationale cultureel-erfgoedsector, zowel in Vlaanderen als in Europa (in het Engels en het Nederlands). Werkplaats immaterieel erfgoed, partners, proeftuinmusea* en leden van het Lerend Netwerk zullen hun ervaringen, opgedane kennis en de volgende stappen in de zoektocht naar de integratie van ICH in museale collectie- en beleidsplannen delen.

De conferentie zal in het Engels gehouden worden. Met dit format willen wij onze ervaring delen met het internationale cultureel-erfgoedveld.
