At the 39th Session, UNESCO-UNEVOC and the German UNESCO Commission aim to draw attention on the role of skills development for the heritage sector, as qualified experts, technicians and skilled labour have a vital role in ensuring that cultural and natural heritage is protected, conserved, presented and rehabilitated. This is articulated in the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage.
Mr Majumdar, Head of UNESCO-UNEVOC and Ms Steinkamp discussed the importance of skills development for protecting cultural and natural heritage, and the role of quality TVET for providing heritage skills.
