Korea will share its cultural heritage management technology with its Asian neighbors. The 'International Course for Cultural Heritage Management' is being hosted by the Training Center for Traditional Culture and is open to 14 participating Asian countries.
The invitational training program will be held from August 24 to 31. The Training Center for Traditional Culture has been hosting the program since 2009 as part of the Official Development Assistance (ODA) project of the Cultural Heritage Administration.
The participants of this year’s program comprise 17 people from 14 countries, including Myanmar, Laos, Bangladesh, East Timor, Nepal and Cambodia. They were chosen from both the Priority Countries of Korea’s ODA, and existing participating countries.
The participants will learn about Korea’s culture and cultural heritage through the program. The course involves lectures on the preservation and management of world heritage as well as on Korea’s wooden architecture, field trips to Changdeokgung Palace and Yangdong Folk Village in Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do (North Gyeongsang Province), and experiences of Korea’s court cuisine.
The Training Center for Traditional Culture said it will improve the annual training program in the future so that Asian countries can share Korea’s accumulated knowledge and experience in cultural heritage preservation and management. The center also said it will do its best to offer countries a range of in-depth educational opportunities.
