2022 Winter School on Digital Cultural Tourism and Diplomacy

13-19 Feb 2022, 08:00-17:00
Limassol, Cyprus

The 2022 Winter School of the UNESCO Chair on Digital Cultural Heritage is organised in collaboration with the UNESCO Chair in ICT and will take place in Lymassol, Cyprus, from the 13th to the 20th of February.

The main topic of the 2022 edition of the UNESCO Winter School is how ICTs – Information and Communication Technologies designed can help in preserving and transmitting living heritage and bring people to work and live closer together, while promoting forms of tourism that go beyond traditional “sun sea and sand”, and can verifiably serve as a vehicle of cultural diplomacy.

The Winter School will take place in the wonderful frame of Lymassol, in Cyprus: an island that offers plenty of tangible and intangible heritage examples and also an interesting set of case study.

Three countries times three houses - that's nine different house stories: Zittau-based photographer Rafael Sampedro has portrayed people who live or work in Umgebindehouses, who accommodate guests or are in the process of saving a house. He expresses the variety of uses and the special features of the building style. Above all, however, the relationship between the people and their houses becomes tangible. We get an idea of the power of this folk architecture: the heart of the house beats in the warm log cabin - the soul of the border triangle is given space in the Umgebindehouse.
