UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage

UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage refers to the living traditions, practices, expressions, knowledge, and skills that communities recognize as part of their cultural identity. These include things like local festivals, traditional music and dance, oral storytelling, craftsmanship, and rituals. Unlike physical objects or monuments, these elements are dynamic and passed down through generations, helping to maintain cultural diversity and community cohesion. UNESCO's goal is to identify, protect, and promote these intangible cultural assets, ensuring they remain vibrant and relevant for future generations.
