Programs to Raise Awareness about ICH

Capitalizing on the improved interest and efforts to safeguard ICH, ICHCAP strives to lead stakeholders in various modes of safeguarding processes at the national, sub-regional, and regional levels. By launching many accessible projects, the Centre works towards a heightened understanding of living heritage with emphasis on community development, cultural diversity, and international cooperation. In pursuing youth-oriented initiatives, ICHCAP propagates individual appreciation of ICH through the youth whose participation in ICH transmission and safeguarding is necessary toward better systemic changes and sustainable development.
