Éducation au patrimoine en langue minorée by Marie-Anne Châteaureynaud

“…Over time, the notion of heritage education emerged and in 2005, in Faro, UNESCO produced a framework convention that evoked a right to heritage and underlined the importance of local cultures in a globalised world.Whether tangible or intangible, the heritage linked to minority languages is thus also the subject of a cultural right from which pupils must be able to benefit.The transmission of the heritage of minority languages and cultures is a central issue because (UNESCO, 2003) "the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge and skills - as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated with them - that communities, groups and, where appropriate, individuals" are part of cultural heritage. …”
