Intangible Heritage - Why should we care? | Prof. Máiréad Nic Craith | TEDxHeriotWattUniversity

Being an expert on all things to do with heritage, Máiréad was invited by the United Nations in 2011 to advise on access to heritage as a human right. The preservation of intangible heritage is something she is deeply passionate about, and she continues to build on to this awareness and its importance in her work.
Máiréad Nic Craith is Professor of Cultural Heritage at Heriot-Watt University. Her research focuses on different aspects of heritage including literary heritage, multicultural heritage, World Heritage sites, heritage and conflict and heritage and law in a European context. Máiréad has recently co-edited the Blackwell Companion to Heritage.

    i ben teaching about this topic for the last 3 years in my home land honduras, working with the garifuna people, i do workshops based on ethnographic documentary filmaking for intangible heritage documentation preservation and difussion, this speech give more substance to my arguments so i can show this in any future workshop, empowering these groups to tell their storys from their own culture and interpretation and cosmovision allows the respect and combats any type of stigma that can be generated through poor comunication though comercial media productions.

    your speech is more like a persuasion speech to general audience who are on neutral basis. stop throwing in random example all over the place..
