Now that we are familiarized with the term “cultural heritage”, we will proceed to explain its types according to UNESCO. This topic delves into the different types of cultural heritage, defining each one of them. By explaining each one of the characteristics, teachers and students will be able to familiarize themselves with this topic and to understand the importance of protecting cultural heritage in order to secure the identity of future generations.
We will be focusing on tangible cultural heritage, intangible cultural heritage, and natural heritage.
As stated in the Convention, there is “interdependence between intangible Cultural Heritage, and tangible cultural and natural heritage, and acknowledges the role of intangible Cultural Heritage as a source of cultural diversity and a driver of sustainable development.” (“Tangible and intangible Cultural Heritage | RICHES Resources,” n.d.)
Even though natural heritage is defined by UNESCO as “Natural features, geological and physiographical formations and delineated areas that constitute the habitat of threatened species of animals and plants and natural sites of value from the point of view of science, conservation or natural beauty. It includes nature parks and reserves, zoos, aquaria, and botanical gardens” (“Natural heritage,” 2017) and cultural heritage is directly related to humans, “There is an increasing recognition of strong interconnections between natural and cultural assets and of the need for their integrated management” (“Links between Natural and Cultural Heritage,” n.d.) since it is a resource of social cohesion and economic development.
The main objectives of this topic are described in the following video:
