UNESCO CHAIR/UNITWIN NETWORK PROGRESS REPORT FORM

Following the previous report, which covered the period until 1 May 2016, the UNESCO Chair in Intangible Heritage and Traditional Know-How: Linking Heritage has succeeded in lending further consistency to a project that has already proven its value, not only for the promotion of the UNESCO’s objectives in Portugal and in other cooperating countries, but also for the hosting institution (University of Évora/CIDEHUS) and the community at large.

It has been a major concern of this Chair to fully comply with the objectives established in the 2013 Agreement, signed by the UNESCO and the University of Évora, and to create the conditions for its renewal for an additional period of four years. Hence, the following measures have been taken:

The mechanisms that link the Chair to the Alentejo, a disadvantaged region which is home to the University of Évora, have been reinforced by integrating institutions and organisms related to heritage and development.

In cooperation with the Portuguese National Commission for UNESCO, a UNESCO Chair steering committee has been prepared which the former President of the Portuguese Republic Jorge Sampaio accepted to preside.

By organizing the necessary human and financial resources, ongoing research projects have been strengthened and efforts made to secure new projects through competitive or cooperative proposals.

Continuity has been given to already existing programmes for professional enhancement (Mediterranean Heritage and Heritage Management and Smart Specialization) and postgraduate studies (Master Erasmus Mundus – TPTI, Webminar Le Droit International des Biens Culturels and PhD Heritage Studies).

Chair members have been actively involved in the coordination of Master and PhD thesis projects.

Decisive steps have been taken for the creation of UNESCO Chair Poles at the universities of Cape Verde (Republic of Cape Verde), Cadi Ayyad (Marrakech, Morocco) and Viçosa (Minas Gerais, Brazil)

At the same time, other activities have been carried out to give consistency and visibility to the work of the Chair, such as:

The 2nd UNESCO Chair Meeting which gave rise to an important set of recommendations containing proposals for the safeguarding and promotion of the Portuguese Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Support to other initiatives, in Portugal and abroad, related to heritage and sustainable development.

Contributions to conferences and meetings, as participant or guest speaker on behalf of the Chair.

In conclusion, this report does not only intend to demonstrate the Chair’s work, but also to give support to its request for renewal, already expressed through the official letter by the Director of the University of Évora (17/10/2016).

1. Executive Summary:

Major outcomes, results and impact of the Chair, including on national policies, in relation to its objectives as stated in Article 2 of the Chair Agreement (between the Institution and UNESCO) (Not exceeding 300 words)

Preamble regarding the more specific parts of this report

With the present report, the Chair wishes to draw attention to the projects, activities and achievements that demonstrate the value of its work up to now and justify, from its point of view, the renewal of the Agreement for another four years. Therefore, this time, its aim is not to report on every conference presentation or publications its team members and collaborators may have presented or finished in the period in question (2 May 2016 –26 December 2016), but to highlight some of the most interesting examples of its educational and training activities and to submit a series of attachments on the different areas it has focused in the past and seeks to develop from 2017 onwards.

a) Education/Training/Research (key education programmes and training delivered and research undertaken by the Chair during the reporting period, target

group and geographical coverage)

i) Education (leading to certificate)

PhD Programme in History / History of Art The directors of two PhD courses allocated at CIDEHUS and CHAIA (University of Évora) decided to include heritage related subject matters into their programmes. This decision came as a result of having won 36 doctoral fellowships over the course of 4 years for their PhD programmes in History and History of Art, which were then upgraded with a diploma in Heritage Studies. Together with another partner, the HERCULES Laboratory at the University of Évora, these centres are now forming the recently created Heritage Platform. The UNESCO Chair has been an active partner in this process and has greatly benefited from it, since a series of doctoral students have become associated to its work.

Master Erasmus Mundus Techniques, Patrimoines, Territoires de l'Industrie (TPTI) This heritage related programme, based on a memorandum between the Universities of Évora, Padua and Sorbonne-Panthéon Paris 1, has been going on for several years. Progressively, the initial focus on industrial heritage has been enlarged to accommodate projects related to landscape and intangible heritage. The continuous training practice has led faculty members of the master's degree course to collaborate with other university courses and to continue to monitor and support the work of master students up to their PhD degree and sometimes even in their professional trajectories. Chair holder Filipe Themudo Barata has been actively involved in both teaching and the monitoring of TPTI students.

ii) Training (short term)

Mediterranean Heritage (2nd edition 2016). The aim of the course is to analyse the heritage of the Western Mediterranean, with particular emphasis on its historical and cultural development and the relations between its northern and southern shores. Once again, this short term course was directed at students from universities in the Western Mediterranean, especially from the Iberian Peninsula and Northern Africa. The course is jointly administered by the University of Évora, Nova University (Lisbon) and the University of the Algarve, with active support of the UNESCO Chair. Team member Fernando Branco Correia was one of the lecturers. See attachment 1

Chair holder Filipe Themudo Barata organized SHORT TRAINING COURSES for Brazilian students on Cultural Heritage and Smart Specialization. Other Chair members and collaborators actively prepared and administered the courses. The experience was successfully repeated in 2016, so that the course is now part of an agreement between the Universities of Évora and Viçosa (Brazil). See attachment 2.

“DB–Heritage” (PTDC / EPH-PAT / 4684/2014). Database of building materials with historical and heritage interest. Project Leader: Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil. The expected outcomes are the availability of a bank of samples and data for study and consultation; the compilation of information on the building materials used in Portugal over time; a description of the degradation process of building materials, considering the type of material and its characteristics, as well as the time and environmental conditions of exposure. UNESCO Chair representative: Filipe Themudo Barata Active:

“Évora Network of Museums and Cultural Institutions / Rede de Museus e Equipamentos Culturais de Évora”. A project that can be defined as an integrated approach to enhance the organisation, joint promotion and information of museums and other culturally attractive equipments in Évora in terms of heritage and tourism.

b) Conferences/Meetings (key conferences and meetings organized by the Chair or to which its Chairholder contributed)

i) Key conferences and workshops hosted by the Chair or presenting the Chair

On July 7, 2016, the 2nd Meeting of the UNESCO Chair took place at the University of Évora. At this meeting, convened under the theme "The Role of the Intangible Cultural Heritage", the participants revisited the concept of intangible cultural heritage; evaluated the application of the 2003 Convention and some of its results, namely in Portugal; questioned the underlying legal mechanisms and addressed doubts in regard to some of its aspects, and discussed the problems of safeguarding and promoting the ICH. During the debate, participants identified some of the practical, organisational, social and financial problems affecting heritage in general and the intangible heritage in particular, and agreed, in the final part of the meeting, to transform the conclusions into a set of recommendations (see attachment 5) addressed to all interested stakeholders, independently of their being public or private institutions, communities, groups or individuals. The event was prepared by team members Ana Carvalho, Armanda Salgado and Cornelia Fischer and accompanied by an exhibition of mupis, among them on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), the Chair’s ICH Database and Forum, and the Repository of the Alentejo’s Cultural Heritage (see attachments 5a, 5b and 5c).

During the national Science and Technology Week, scientific institutions, universities, schools and museums opened their doors and provided the public with the opportunity to get in touch with different fields of knowledge. Team members Ana Carvalho, João Brigola and João Rocha presented different aspects of the UNESCO Chair’s work during the days of the event at the University of Évora (21-24 November 2016).

3. Future Plans and Development Prospects: Outline of action plan for the next biennium and short/medium and long-term development prospects.

Please do not hesitate to refer to difficulties that the Chair has experienced (Not exceeding 300 words)

Should the UNESCO concede the renewal of the agreement for another four years, the Chair intends to

– link activities related to the Intangible Heritage to the Sustainable Development Goals that the United Nations and UNESCO have committed themselves to in September 2015. In this regard, the Chair will seek to develop projects related to migrants/refugees affected by loss of identity and the undervaluation of their traditions and know-how;

– effectively establish the UNESCO Chair steering committee which should start its supervising work in March 2017;

– continue and deepen the process of collaboration with the Portuguese National Commission for UNESCO;

– further advance with the creation and application of computer and audiovisual tools for management, communication and teaching, of which there are already some relevant examples: the online databases "Cante Alentejano" and www.hpip.org; the ICH database and ICH discussion forum (UNESCO Chair website); the Heritage Film Festival (Évora, October 2016); the preparation and usage of MOOCS; and the administration of online courses (such as the webminar at the Sorbonne Paris1/Pantheon);

– intensify the international cooperation between academic institutions, in order to amplify the existing network and to formally establish the three UNESCO Chair Poles that the universities of Cape Verde (Republic of Cape Verde), Viçosa (Brazil) and Marrakech (Morocco) have already accepted to host;

– continue to promote the Chair as a start-up centre for the development of cultural and creative industries, a subject matter that has been of interest for young researchers and led to their integration into the UNESCO Chair’s work as team members or collaborators;

– try to develop a network of academic and non-academic partnerships in Portugal based on the proposal and implementation of collaborative projects;

– collaborate with the members of the recently created Network of Portuguese UNESCO Chairs and to identify overlapping themes or shared interests that would allow for a closer cooperation among them;

– systematically publish theses, monographs, reports and articles by collaborators and team members;

– ensure the future financial sustainability of the Chair, a process that has required huge efforts from the team.
