Via Francigena
subject: Intangible Heritage
description: Via Francigena is a historic pilgrim’s route from Canterbury to Rome. First travelled by Sigeric the Serious, Archbishop of Canterbury in the year 990, this historic pilgrimage route is now travelled by around 50,000 hikers yearly. The route begins at Canterbury cathedral, traveling to Dover and across the English Channel. The route continues through France into Switzerland, crossing the alps at the Great St Bernard Pass. After crossing the Italian border, the route continues down the eastern side of Italy and finishes at Rome. The route is mostly footpaths and rough trails, with substantial elevation change in some stages. This difficult terrain promotes SDG 3: good health and wellbeing. Walking is a far more environmentally responsible mode of transport than air travel, car or train, so as well as benefiting pilgrims traveling on the route, promoting walking tourism (which the Via Francigena is an example of) can help contribute to SDG 13: climate action.

Flamenco
subject: Culture,Intangible Heritage
description: Flamenco is an artistic expression that fuses song (cante), dance (baile), and musicianship (toque). Originating from the Andalusian region of southern Spain, Flamenco has evolved over centuries, influenced by the cultural melting pot of Andalusia's history. It is characterized by its emotional intensity, haunting melodies, and intricate guitar playing. Flamenco is an integral part of Spain's cultural identity and continues to be passed down through generations. Digital interpretation of this intangible heritage can contribute to SDG 4.7, which aims to promote appreciation of cultural diversity and culture's contribution to sustainable development.

Bronze statue of Eros sleeping
subject: Movable Cultural Heritage
description: This bronze statue of a sleeping Eros, the Roman god of love, is at the pinnacle of Hellenistic sculpture work. The Hellenistic period ushered in the "accurate characterisation of age," which this sculpture exemplifies through the depiction of Eros as a baby. The importance of this statue can be understood through the sheer number of replicas of it – the Roman period was rich with sleeping baby Eros statues throughout public spaces. This sculpture also reframes the narrative around Eros; his softness and vulnerability as depicted here is contrasted with the powerful and cruel characteristic he displays in the poetry of the time. This moveable heritage addresses Quality Education 4.7 and Climate Action 13.

The Bayeux Tapestry, France
subject: Movable Cultural Heritage
description: The Bayeux Tapestry is an iconic historical artifact that vividly narrates the events leading up to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. Despite its name, the tapestry was likely created in England shortly after the conquest, possibly in Canterbury. It measures approximately 70 meters long and is embroidered on linen cloth in colored wool yarns. The tapestry depicts scenes of battles, coronations, and daily life, providing valuable insights into the political and cultural dynamics of the time. Its intricate detail and skilled craftsmanship make it a masterpiece of medieval art. Although the tapestry's precise origins and purpose remain subject to debate among scholars, it is widely believed to have been commissioned by Bishop Odo of Bayeux, half-brother to William the Conqueror, or by William's wife, Queen Matilda. Today, the Bayeux Tapestry is housed in the Bayeux Museum in Normandy, France, where it attracts thousands of visitors annually. It serves as a crucial historical record, offering a unique glimpse into the medieval period and the Norman Conquest, and continues to inspire fascination and study among historians, artists, and enthusiasts worldwide.

Journey to the West
subject: Intangible Heritage
description: The novel is an extended account of the legendary pilgrimage of the Tang dynasty Buddhist monk Xuanzang, who traveled to the "Western Regions" (Central Asia and India) to obtain Buddhist sūtras (sacred texts) and returned after many trials and much suffering. The monk is referred to as Tang Sanzang in the novel. The novel retains the broad outline of Xuanzang's own account, Great Tang Records on the Western Regions, but adds elements from folk tales and the author's invention: Gautama Buddha gives this task to the monk and provides him with three protectors who agree to help him as an atonement for their sins. These disciples are Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, together with a dragon prince who acts as Tang Sanzang's steed, a white horse. The group of pilgrims journeys towards enlightenment by the power and virtue of cooperation.

Journey to the West has strong roots in Chinese folk religion, Chinese mythology, Confucianism, Taoist, and Buddhist theology, and the pantheon of Taoist immortals and Buddhist bodhisattvas are still reflective of some Chinese religious attitudes today. Enduringly popular, the novel is at once a comic adventure story, a humorous satire of Chinese bureaucracy, a source of spiritual insight, and an extended allegory.
