The 2018 Sub-Regional Meeting for Intangible Cultural Heritage Safeguarding in Northeast Asia is to be held on 28-30 August in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. As the third edition of the dialogue, the meeting is focusing on the theme of “ICH in Education: Towards Joint Collaboration for Promoting ICH in Formal and Non-Formal Education”.

This Meeting will be jointly organized by the International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region (ICHCAP) under the auspices of UNESCO and UNESCO Beijing Office with support from the Mongolian Ministry of Education, Culture, Science and Sports (MECSS) and Mongolian National Commission for UNESCO.
