I Scientific day of the Chair of Education and Intangible Heritage of the Pyrenees

On 13 September 2019, at the Faculty of Education, Psychology and Social Work of the University of Lleida, the first scientific day of the Chair of Education and Intangible Heritage of the Pyrenees took place. The organization of this seminar raised many questions around the festivities of the fire, as following the recognition by UNESCO, the festivities of the fire have been recovered or introduced in many municipalities in the Pyrenees, which have taken advantage of the festivities of Falles, Haros, Halhas and Brandons. This program was made within the framework of the project “Design and implementation of a model of safeguard for the Festes del Foc del Solstici d’Estiu al Pirineus“, granted by the Cultural Institute of the Ministry of Culture and Sport. 

Here you can find the program of the Scientific Day of the Chair and then photos of its celebration.

Safeguard Model for the Festivity of Falles, Haros & Brandons

The positive resolution by UNESCO regarding the incorporation of the Fire Festivities of the Summer Solstice in the Pyrenees to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity granted an international recognition to the tradition. Now, however, it is necessary to safeguard it, in other words, keep it alive without reducing its function or social value. That is why the chair is working on the development of a model that establishes guidelines for the sustainable conservation of the Fallas, Haros, Halhes and Brandons.
