Session 1: Traditional Cultures and Modernization |
| |
The protection and development of traditional culture against
the backdrop of globalization no longer means the inheritance
and continuation in a general sense; it represents the transformation
and remolding of traditional culture in the course of modernization.
This has become an important part of maintaining the world's
cultural diversity during economic globalization.
China has summarized traditional culture and modernization
as well as the relationship between them as seen in various
countries. It is their hope that the discussion will focus
on how to preserve and develop traditional culture amid modernization
and how to make the traditional culture of all nationalities
a part of modern human life. |
Key Issues for Discussions:
- The specific measures taken to rescue and protect traditional
culture during modernization, including the main measures to protect
traditional culture; the legislative model for intangible cultural
heritage and its implementation; and how to reasonably combine
traditional culture with economic development, etc.
- How will traditional culture be inherited and innovated amid
modernization? How can traditional culture accurately reflect
our history and still adapt to modern society?
- How can we build a mechanism for cultural exchange and development
between various countries? What measures should the countries
take?

- Presentation by Sun Jiazheng, Minister of Culture of China

serve as a think tank to address various issues related to the
Convention, and continue its work to raise awareness about cultural
diversity. |

in Opatija?

- How can the INCP assist in terms of linkages between a UNESCO
Convention and other international organizations such as the WTO,
WIPO and UNCTAD?
