You probably are aware of the United Nations Educational, Social, and Cultural Organization's World Heritage Sites such as the Taj Mahal, Machu Picchu, Timbuktu, and Angkor Wat.  What you might not know about is UNESCO's efforts to save unique cultural skills and arts.   The Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, founded by UNESCO in 2009, supports skills such as flamenco dancing, silk making, Chinese calligraphy, and bell casting.  Come learn about these and other amazing skills that are being preserved for future generations!
