| Summary: |
As a follow-up to the sub-regional meeting in the Pacific on the
2003 Convention held in Nadji, Fiji (December 2007), UNESCO is organizing
a series of national consultation meetings to assist Member States
in the ratification and implementation of the 2003 Convention. This
meeting follows the one held in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea (18–19
March 2008).
Its objective is to bring together all Fijian governmental officers
involved in the ratification procedure of the 2003 Convention for
the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage and to provide
them with information and assistance. It will also support Fiji’s
participation, at the international level, in the implementation
of the Convention, in particular through the submission of intangible
heritage elements for inscription on the Convention’s Lists
and the submission of international assistance requests. |
