Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage

Aim

The five-day workshop will introduce Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) and its significance in our cultural context to the participants. It aims to make the participants mindful of the need to document and safeguard it. The course will further expose the participants to the tools and frameworks that exist to document and safeguard ICH.

Content

India’s intangible cultural traditions have been practiced for centuries and they have been embodied in its various cultures, in the form of rituals, traditions, customs, craft forms, dance forms and so on.

Through this course the participants would be introduced to the evolution of the idea of ICH in the wider global discourse on heritage. They will understand how ICH forms a crucial part of the identity of an individual or group.
