On 4th November 2015, Museums Galleries Scotland hosted a pioneering international symposium in Edinburgh on Intangible Cultural Heritage in a multicultural context, exploring human rights issues. The morning session was streamed online where viewers could follow the keynote presentation, delivered by Dr Janet Blake, consultant to UNESCO and contributor to the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage. There were also short presentations from various international delegates and live performances of ICH practice in Scotland.

Museums Galleries Scotland has redeveloped an online inventory of ICH practices in Scotland and is asking people to contribute examples to the website ichscotland.org.
