Intangible Cultural Heritage: A Case Study of Listing

This is the third in a short series of podcasts on the UNESCO 2003 Convention on Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH).   In this podcast, Karen Culver, an MA student in the Cultural Heritage Studies Programme, talks to Dr Laszlo Nemes, the Director of the International Kodaly Institute in Hungary and to Dr. Eszter Csonka-Takacs, the Director of the UNESCO Committee in Hungary.   They discuss the process of listing the Kodaly Concept of music preservation and teaching with UNESCO, and what the community of Kodaly Concept music teachers might gain from the listing. In the other podcasts in the series Karen looks at how the 2003 Convention on Intangible Cultural Heritage was developed; some of the challenges faced by the 2003 UNESCO Convention; and the relationship between UNESCO and the community that holds the heritage.
