Description
Facilitators: Darja Kranjc, Higher Nature Protection Counselor, Skocjan Caves Park, Slovenia, and Jasna Fakin Bajec, Institute for Culture and Memory Studies, Research Centers of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Art
This workshop defined cultural heritage and explained potential differences with what is understood as cultural re- sources and cultural values. After an up-to-date theoretical explanation, practice examples were shared on how cultural heritage typical for limestone areas can help towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), elaborating on the reasons for and practical usage of cultural heritage in management of the UNESCO Karst and Reka River Basin Biosphere Reserve (Slovenia). Participants were invited to produce a draft of their own “Karst Cultural Heritage Database”, co-create a template for proper sustainable solution development based on cultural heritage, and discuss creation of an open database of sustainable traditional practices and solutions on karst areas around the globe.
