Calls for a report on Latvia's report on the implementation of UNESCO Convention on the Conservation of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Latvia

Latvia has to submit TO UNESCO the current report on how THE UNESCO Convention on the Conservation of Intangible Cultural Heritage is implemented in Latvia by 15 December. Since 2020, UNESCO has changed the form of the report: it is standardised and the report is currently to be presented to countries on the basis of specific indicators.

Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) is a source of cultural affiliation, identity and self-awareness. It includes forms of customs, games and oral expression, knowledge and skills, and related instruments, objects, artifacts and cultural spaces, which are recognised by the communities, groups and, in some cases, individual, as part of their cultural heritage.
