Teaching and learning
In its teaching capacity the UNESCO Chair focuses first and foremost on MA and PhD levels. We complement the existing curricula in the fields of ethnology, folkloristics, and cultural management, including the English language MA program “Folkloristics and Applied Heritage Studies“.

- to direct students to reflect on the reasons and goals of heritage creation (the political, economic, and social application of cultural heritage designation) on local, national, and international level;
- to introduce to students the UN Sustainable Development Goals and to engage them in the relevant discussions and programs;
- to draw attention to the problematic consequences in heritage designations or applications, while spelling out the options for conflict prevention and ethical solutions;
- to point out options and ways in mediating communities, entrepreneurs, and officials active in the heritage process.
UNESCO offers a variety of internships in different thematic areas and in different places in the world, see here.
The Chair also brings visiting lecturers to Tartu, notably from other UNESCO Chairs and elsewhere. In 2025 started the Series of the UNESCO Chair.
