List of Intangible Cultural Heritage

The List of Intangible Cultural Heritage is a collection established by UNESCO to recognize and protect cultural practices, expressions, and traditions that are vital to various communities around the world. Unlike tangible heritage, such as buildings or artifacts, intangible heritage includes elements like music, dance, rituals, crafts, and oral traditions. The aim is to preserve these cultural treasures for future generations, promoting diversity and fostering respect for cultural differences. By highlighting these traditions, UNESCO encourages communities to maintain and revitalize their cultural practices, thereby enriching global cultural heritage.
