Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial

Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial, or Intangible Cultural Heritage, refers to practices, expressions, knowledge, and skills passed down through generations that shape a community’s identity. This includes traditions like language, music, dance, rituals, craftsmanship, and celebrations that are not physical objects but are vital to a community’s cultural existence. Recognizing this heritage helps preserve diverse cultures, support cultural diversity, and ensure these living traditions continue to be part of our collective history. It's about safeguarding the skills and practices that connect people to their history and surroundings, fostering cultural continuity and understanding.
