Inter-regional Field Experiences on Curriculum Development for ICH Safeguarding: Experience from Uganda
| Description | Since its inception in 2006, the Cross-Cultural Foundation of Uganda (CCFU) noted very limited professional heritage expertise in the culture sector. In Uganda, both private and public universities do not offer fully fledged degree courses and therefore those with professional qualifications in heritage were trained outside the country. Over the past 14 years, CCFU has carried out trainings for development partners and designed training manuals on heritage preservation and promotion, but soon realized this was not sufficient. In 2017 CCFU, in consultation with partner universities, applied for assistance from UNESCO’s ICH International Assistance Fund to design a degree course on ICH and Sustainable Development for universities in Uganda. As the coordinating organisation, CCFU ensured that representatives from four universities, the Ministry of Education and Sports, the Uganda National Commission for UNESCO, the Department of Culture and Family Affairs, as well as the National Council for Higher Education formed a Steering Committee and working groups that were responsible for designing the university course syllabus. Emily Drani talks about inter-regional field experiences on curriculum development in Uganda. MS. EMILY DRANI is the Executive Director and co-founder of the Cross-Cultural Foundation of Uganda, an organisation dedicated to promoting the value of ‘culture in development’ approach. She holds a Master of Philosophy in Development Studies with a focus on Endogenous Development. | ||
