Course Overview

Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) consists of traditions, practices, expressions, knowledge, and skills passed down through generations. Unlike tangible heritage (monuments, artefacts), ICH focuses on living expressions such as oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, traditional craftsmanship, and Indigenous knowledge.

This course provides a structured approach to understanding, preserving, and promoting ICH while ensuring its sustainability in modern societies. Participants will explore key frameworks, UNESCO conventions, community involvement strategies, and methods for documentation, transmission, and safeguarding.
