Andong International Convention Center / UNESCO MOWCAP YouTube Livestream
Andong is a treasure trove of South Korea’s history and culture, preserving a rich legacy of historical and cultural heritage from various periods. In particular, Hahoe Village in Andong is listed as a UNESCO-designated heritage site across all categories: World Heritage, Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and Memory of the World. This makes it a rare living museum with few parallels worldwide. At this UNESCO Designated Heritage International Academic Conference, we aim to highlight Andong Hahoe Village’s unique achievements and explore comprehensive management and utilization strategies for UNESCO-designated heritage.
This conference will focus on sharing concerns about the protection, access, and utilization of World Heritage, Intangible Cultural Heritage, and Memory of the World, and will seek practical approaches from an integrated perspective. To foster in-depth and diverse discussions, keynote speeches and various thematic presentation sessions have been organized, followed by active debates.
Listen to policy research presentations by experts from around the world, case studies from various countries, and discussions on future strategies. We will also take the opportunity to reflect on the current status and challenges facing UNESCO-designated heritage in Korea.
