| Description |
The Asia-Pacific region has been called a treasure house of ICH because of the region’s diverse heritage and rich cultural environment. However, economic and social change in the region has been threatening the survival of ICH. With younger generations abandoning traditional knowledge and ways of life for more modern or western approaches, it has become necessary to rethink the role of the media to promote ICH as a mode of sustainable development. To examine this issue, ICHCAP held the 2016 Sub-regional Meeting for Intangible Cultural Heritage Safeguarding in Northeast Asia in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, from 10 to 12 October 2016. |
