Recognising that cultural heritage is increasingly threatened with destruction by changing social and economic conditions, and considering that the safeguarding of this heritage at the national level often remains incomplete, UNESCO acknowledges that education plays a key role in safeguarding intangible cultural heritage. Safeguarding by integrating intangible cultural heritage into higher education could be an effective strategy. The paper briefly presents the concepts of intangible cultural heritage, safeguarding measures, a historical approach to tango, and a review of three curricula or degree proposals offered by three universities in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that could be considered as safeguarding measures for tango as intangible cultural heritage. From the perspective of the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage and the overall results framework, we interpret that the proposals of the universities under study can be considered measures to safeguard tango, intending to guarantee tango as a living heritage continuation. The three proposals include tango education, awareness-raising and, possibly, transmission.
