TASK: 2018 is the European Year of Cultural Heritage! Cultural heritage comes in many shapes and forms, it is not only the monuments and works of art we have explored in our cities. Cultural heritage is:

• tangible – for example buildings, monuments, artefacts, clothing, artwork, books, machines, historic towns, archaeological sites.
• intangible – practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills - and the associated instruments, objects and cultural spaces - that people value. This includes language and oral traditions, performing arts, social practices and traditional craftsmanship.
• natural – landscapes, flora and fauna.
• digital – resources that were created in digital form (for example digital art or animation) or that have been digitalised as a way to preserve them (including text, images, video, records).

 

Watch the 2 videos below, think about what cultural heritage is and what it means to you and tell us your opinion on the topic: Do you think it is important for us to protect our common European cultural heritage? Why?
