[01] Pindos Mount in ICH list
Deputy Economy and Finance Minister Nikos Lengas and Greek UNESCO
Committee President Maria-Ekaterini Papachristopoulou-Tzitzikosta
discussed the proposal to have the part of Pindos Mountain Range,
located in the prefecture of Trikala, central Greece, included in
UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) monuments list. The rock
towers of Meteora are a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998.
The discussion was held within the framework of the 1st Green Festival
events in Aspropotamos. The ICH is manifested, among others, in the
following domains: oral traditions and expressions including language
as a vehicle of the intangible cultural heritage; performing arts (such
as traditional music, dance and theatre); social practices, rituals and
festive events; knowledge and practices concerning nature and the
universe; traditional craftsmanship.
