The Department of Culture has secured US$ 97,754, \/ EC$ 264,185.07, from the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Fund to inventory, promote, and safeguard important elements of Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s cultural heritage.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The 19 month project entitled \u201cStrengthening Capacities for the Implementation
\nof the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage
\nin Antigua and Barbuda\u201d will commence in 2021. According to Dr. Hazra C.
\nMedica, Cultural Advisor and the project\u2019s manager in the Ministry of Culture, the
\nproject was formulated after eight months of consultations with representatives from
\nthe private, public, and civil sectors.<\/p>\n

Dr. Medica reveals that the project will be a mammoth undertaking that will collect
\ndata from every parish and Barbuda for the country\u2019s first ever national living
\nheritage inventory. She notes that the project will also include two pilot safeguarding
\nactivities \u2014 a warri programme and a traditional boatbuilding programme \u2014 as a trial
\nfor future safeguarding of inventoried elements.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The warri programme will teach interested youths and adults the history and skills of
\nthe game. Selected youths will also be trained in the making of warri boards for local
\npurchase. Moreover, tree-planting exercises will be undertaken to increase the
\nnumber of Caesalpinia Crista trees, the source of the seeds used in warri.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

For its part, the boatbuilding programme will see selected youths trained in
\nboatbuilding by one of the country\u2019s few remaining traditional boatbuilders. Longterm, the boat-building programme will be used to elaborate localised occupation
\nstandards, certification and curricula in the field and widen our youths\u2019 maritime
\nskills and opportunities. The programme, which will produce a tradition-inspired
\nvessel, is also expected to facilitate the rebirth of the local boatbuilding industry.
\nOther components of the 19 months project include: the publication of a short book
\non our cultural heritage, capacity building workshops for selected residents, teaching
\nstudents traditional toy-making using recycled and indigenous materials, and various
\ncultural exhibitions.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Sports, Culture, National Festivals, and the Arts, the Hon. Daryll
\nMatthew expresses gratitude to UNESCO for its timely investment in the country\u2019s
\nculture sector. He describes the project as an apt response to longstanding public
\nanxiety that important elements of our culture will eventually vanish with the passing
\nof the holders of the knowledge and skills associated with them. Minister Matthew
\nalso commends the project for components that will equip youths with knowledge and
\nskills designed to enhance their earning opportunities and marketability.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This is the second time in less than two years that the Department of Culture has secured
\nfunding from a highly competitive UNESCO funding programme. The first was in
\nDecember 2018 when the Department was awarded US$50,033 or around EC$ 135,000
\nfor a cultural industries mapping project under the International Fund for Cultural
\nDiversity. This project, halted by the pandemic, is slated to recommence in 2021.<\/p>\n
