Barbados to mark Int’l Day of Intangible Cultural Heritage

As Barbados joins the world in celebrating the inaugural International Day of Intangible Cultural Heritage, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office with Responsibility for Culture Senator Dr. Shantal Munro-Knight says this occasion holds deep significance for us as a nation.

In a statement, the Minister notes throughout the months of September, October, and November, countries and communities across the globe will engage in various events and activities to highlight the significance of intangible cultural heritage and its role in shaping our identities and cultures.

The Intangible Cultural Heritage Team will visit both primary and secondary schools across the country to further educate students, and how we can collectively contribute to its safeguarding.

Barbados submitted two nominations in March 2024 – road tennis and the Barbados Landship – for inscription on the UNESCO 2003 convention lists.

By December 2025, Barbados will learn whether these nominations have been successful.
