Intangible Heritage Sites

Intangible Heritage Sites refer to cultural traditions, practices, knowledge, and skills that are passed down through generations within communities, such as rituals, festivals, music, dance, and crafts. Unlike physical monuments or landmarks, these heritage elements are non-material but vital to a community's identity and continuity. Recognized by UNESCO and other organizations, safeguarding intangible heritage helps preserve cultural diversity and fosters understanding among different peoples, ensuring that these living traditions remain vibrant and relevant for future generations.
