Study Notes
Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH)
- ICH is defined as "practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills-as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts, and cultural spaces associated therewith-that communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals recognized as part of their cultural heritage" (Art. 2)
- ICH is traditional and living, transmitted from generation to generation, and constantly recreated by communities and groups in response to their environment, interaction with nature, and history
- ICH provides a sense of identity and continuity to communities, groups, and individuals
