| Description | The International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region under the auspices of UNESCO (ICHCAP) is an international organization established under an agreement between UNESCO and the Korean government in 2011 for safeguarding ICH in the Asia-Pacific region. ICHCAP’s core functions are in information and networking, and the recently revised agreement articulates the Centre’s growing role in information sharing and networking in the region. The Program for Supporting Digitization Project of ICH-related Analogue Audiovisual Materials is one of our flagship projects. ‘Information’ and ‘networking’ constitute the key functions of ICHCAP, and at the same time, they are the methodologies. That is, they contribute to our mission of safeguarding ICH through enhancing the visibility of the 2003 Convention, building a mechanism for sharing ICH information, and establishing a close-knit network that connects various actors at different levels. | ||
