UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists

The UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists are global efforts to recognize and protect traditions, practices, and expressions that communities value deeply—such as music, dance, festivals, crafts, and oral histories. These lists help raise awareness about their importance, promote cultural diversity, and encourage safeguarding measures. By officially acknowledging these intangible heritages, UNESCO aims to ensure they are preserved for future generations, fostering pride and understanding among communities worldwide.
