About
Towards the construction of new platform through co-creation between Asia and Africa
The values, roles, and issues required for cultural heritage also reflect the history and culture of the society to which the cultural heritage site belongs and vary from region to region. It is important to promote discussions that lead to the relativisation of paradigms to derive a vision for the future of cultural heritage that can be shared by various stakeholders. This project aims to create a new platform for experts involved in cultural heritage from various perspectives, with focus on Asia and Africa.
Workshop on commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the Nara Document on Authenticity “World Heritage and the Nara Document: Presence and Future of the Asian Paradigm”
In 2024, the Nara Document celebrates its 30th anniversary of adoption. Over the past 30 years, the cultural heritage has changed. Has the future of cultural heritage, as outlined in the Nara Document, been realised? What goals remain unmet? What will the next-generation cultural heritage paradigm look like? We will hold a wide-ranging discussion towards the next 30 years.
