Fiji has a very rich cultural diversity, and our growth and development can be attributed towards this diversity which allows us to develop social capital.
Minister for Education, Heritage and Arts Dr Mahendra Reddy highlighted this at the Intangible Heritage and Art workshop organized by the Labasa Cultural Center.
Reddy says in contemporary societies where the race is focused towards economic and technological development it is extremely vital to safeguard the intangible cultural heritage in this era as it is mandatory to raise awareness at local, national and international levels.
He says cultural sustainability should be practiced for future generations to understand their culture.
Reddy says Fiji being a multi ethnic nation this brings about the opportunity for all to connect, the opportunity to learn other’s cultures and cultural ceremonies which is unique in Fiji.
