2^nd Workshop: Innovative methods of preservation and performing Intangible Cultural Heritage

The second workshop was held in Rendek Eco-Farm, which is situated between the Danube and Tisza rivers, in the middle of the salt desert - the “puszta”.

The main purpose of this workshop was the presentation of innovative methods of preservation and performing Intangible Cultural Heritage and planning for their application. 

According to the participants' uniform opinion, civil organizations and personal relationships have a very important role in the maintenance of the intangible cultural heritage. One of the biggest obstacle of their day-to-day operation and development is the lack of adequate financial background. The difficulty of working with decision-makers and public offices is also a problem. The participants agreed on the importance of the information and communication technologies sector, but could not identify the precise meaning of 'creative industry'. However, the current and future generations of intellectual cultural heritage could be brought together with the help of information and communication technologies.
