After Finland signed UNESCO's Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2013, practical steps were initiated, as stated by the Finnish Sauna Society in its press release. The Finnish Sauna Society has taken several actions to get sauna bathing onto the intangible cultural heritage list, including getting sauna bathing onto the Living Heritage wiki list and preparing a UNESCO application. An important part of the endeavor was also the Finnish state, represented by the Ministry of Education and Culture and the official authority the Finnish Heritage Agency, which liaised with UNESCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Mondex congratulates and thanks the Finnish Sauna Society and other project participants for their activity, which resulted in Finnish sauna tradition being included on the list.
