The idea for this Talk was inspired from 2017 when ENCATC, in partnership with UNESCO and under the leadership of our member Cristina Ortega, has implemented the project “Learning on intangible heritage: building teachers’ capacity for a sustainable future".  This project has also offered ENCATC rich research material for the production of our special issue on the project for the /encatcSCHOLAR.
