 Do local communities have a
role to play in the project ?
Absolutely. Teachers and students are actively encouraged to draw on community life and
local resources such as libraries and museums; to organize excursions to places of memory;
to consult older members of the community and collect intangible heritage from the oral
tradition such as songs and stories. What
educational approaches are used in the ASPnet TST project ?
The project analyses how the TST is presented in today's textbooks, builds on content that
already exists and seeks new points of entry into school curricula. Art, music, video,
creative writing and theatre can also be used to explore aspects of the TST. The media,
popular music, television and the cinema can provide inspiration and ideas.
How is the ASPnet TST project being
conducted ?
It is implemented at three main levels: national, sub-regional and inter-regional, with
the help of National
Commissions for UNESCO. The organization ensures a continual exchange of research,
projects and initiatives through a newsletter and a website.
Who monitors the project ?
An International Task Force advises UNESCO on the overall project. |
