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.
