What is Intangible Cultural Heritage – ICH?
What is meant by “cultural heritage” has changed considerably in recent decades, partly as a result of the instruments developed by UNESCO.
Cultural heritage does not stop at monuments and collections of objects.
It also includes traditions or living expressions inherited from our ancestors and transmitted to our descendants, such as oral traditions, them performing arts, them social practices, rituals and festive events, them knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe or the knowledge and skills necessary for traditional craftsmanship.
