GBA Cultural Heritage Forum to promote cultural assets

Experts from across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area will gather in Macau later this month to discuss the integration and sharing of cultural heritage in the region.

The “Greater Bay Area Cultural Heritage Forum” runs from Oct. 31 to Nov. 1 at the Macau Cultural Centre Small Auditorium.

The forum will bring together representatives from various Bay Area cities as well as cultural heritage experts from China, Macau, Hong Kong, the UK, and Portugal. Panels will address topics including revitalizing historic buildings, using technology in archaeology, and preserving revolutionary relics. Experts will also share experiences on cultural exchanges and cooperation across the region.

As a city with deep cultural roots in the Lingnan region, Macau aims to work with other Bay Area governments to protect, inherit, revitalize, and utilize shared heritage in line with China’s development strategy. The forum provides a platform for leveraging Macau’s role in facilitating Chinese and multicultural exchanges.

A limited number of public seats will be available at the forum venue. Others can watch the livestream online from Oct. 8. If registrations exceed capacity, participants will be selected by lottery. Accompanying activities include heritage site tours, workshops, and an exhibit on restored historical buildings. VC
