Due to changing lifestyles, whereby nowadays the world revolves around technology with the internet taking its toll especially among the younger generation, cultural values and norms have been diminishing. It is, therefore, the duty of parents and educators to instil the love of cultural heritage in their children and learners, the Governor of Oshikoto Henock Kankoshi said on Friday.
Speaking during the official opening of the Namibian Heritage Week, Kankoshi stressed: "This day allows us to create awareness through educational programmes, dialogue and public engagements about the meaning and importance of our cultural heritage. Today we are living in a world of technology and technology has developed and advanced. We now live in a world whereby smartphones, apps and satellite technology have become the order of the day. But one thing remains central and that is the importance of culture and heritage, which gives society and individuals a sense of belonging."
