- The symposium "Transhumance as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity: A Way Forward?" aims to take stock of the progress made in plans to safeguard and promote transhumance in the various countries involved in the inscription process, as well as to share experiences on topics relating to the future of the practice: shepherd training, adapting to new socio-economic and environmental contexts, common-pool resource management, promoting products from transhumant livestock farming, space sharing, and cultural mediation. It will primarily bring together representatives of professionals from the cultural and livestock (farmers, shepherds) sectors, and promoters of plans to safeguard and promote transhumance. Under the patronage of the French National Commission for UNESCO, the symposium is organized by the Maison de la Transhumance, in partnership with the CORAM, the Association Française de Pastoralisme, and the French Ministry of Culture.
