UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) Intangible Cultural Heritage

UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage refers to the practices, traditions, expressions, knowledge, and skills that communities, groups, and sometimes individuals recognize as part of their cultural identity. These include things like oral traditions, celebrations, traditional crafts, performing arts, and social practices that are passed down through generations. Protecting this heritage helps preserve cultural diversity, fosters community pride, and encourages understanding among different cultures. UNESCO’s efforts support communities in maintaining and sharing their unique customs, ensuring that these living traditions continue to thrive in the modern world.
