Lesson 2: Living Cultural Heritage

Intagible Cultural Heritage

The “intangible cultural heritage” means the 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 recognize as part of their cultural heritage.
(Unesco, 2003)

Intangible cultural heritage is also known as "living heritage" or "living culture"
