First Joint Meeting of Cultural Heritage Teams from Warsaw and Kraków

On May 10, 2024, a historic, joint session of the Teams: for the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Warsaw and the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Kraków took place in the Warsaw’s Old Town. Great experts and cultural leaders gathered under the slogan “Our concern for craftsmen and craftswomen unites us.”

Traditional craftsmanship is one of the domains of intangible heritage embraced by the UNESCO 2003 Convention. Urban artisans need systematic appreciation and support — they help to shape the identity of our streets, districts, and cities as well as our day-to-day functioning.

Both Teams for Intangible Heritage were established by the directives of the city mayors (Warsaw in 2020, Kraków in 2023) and are obliged to present recommendations and proposals regarding urban policies and solutions for the safeguarding of urban intangible heritage.

Thank you for the excellent — also in terms of networking — time together!
