The traditional knowledge, practices and cultural expressions which underpin the cultural diversity of the people of Sudan is in need of urgent safeguarding.

This Workshop is organised in cooperation with the Sudanese National Council for Cultural Heritage and Promotion of National Languages Council for ICH and National Language and in partnership with the Cairo Governorate and the UNESCO Offices in Khartoum and Cairo.
