Mag. Maria Walcher, Expert for Intangible Cultural Heritage

ANME-BeiratIn the Austrian Folk Song Association - the umbrella organization of the folk song associations of the federal states - I was able to use my experience as well as the knowledge I gained in my studies of folklore and musicology. Finally, the concept of tradition experienced an unexpected expansion and recognition through the new UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2003. The implementation of this international convention in Austria was entrusted to me. On the question of "Is Traditional European Medicine/TEM also a cultural heritage?", the main players - the Ministry of Health, the Chamber of Physicians and Pharmacists, knowledge carriers in various healing professions, and producers of relevant products - jointly developed strategies in working groups and symposia for the preservation of a heritage recognized as valuable.

My personal saying: I continue to follow my heart; the mind does not have to know!
