3. Safeguarding the Furruco and the Cirrampla of Casanare, ColombiaColombian cultural diversity is marked by its triethnic influence from European, indigenous, and African traditions, added to a strong regional division due to the geographical differences throughout its territory. One of those regions is found on the eastern side, called Llanos Orientales(eastern plains), whose traditions are also shared with Venezuela, with four main departments: Arauca, Casanare, Meta, and Vichada. The llano folklore is undoubtedly the main element that culturally identifies the Casanare department, and from this phenomenon is where the idiosyncrasy and feelings of the llanero people come. \n\nHowever, as is the case with all cultural phenomenon, it is not static and immutable. It is on the other hand, variable and mutable. Thus through time and from different economic, political, geographical, and religious circumstances, among others, the musical traditions have been presenting a series of changes and transformations that have been visible in each period of the region's history. In this historical process, specific stages can be identified where some musical instruments are presented as the soul of the llanos musical tradition, reaching what we commercially know today as the Llanero ensemble, namely: harp, cuatro, maracas, and bass. However, these instruments have not been the same throughout history.Year2021NationColombia

5. Sustainability, Landscape Context, and Water Puppet Culture in the Red River Delta, VietnamWater puppetry is identified widely as an artistic form that has sprung from the characteristics of particular landscapes and the lives and shared stories of their communities. In the Red River Delta (RRD) in Vietnam, it is documented as having developed in the rice-growing area in the tenth/eleventh century (Dunning, 1996 2021; Gaboriault, 2009), with the first physical evidence of performance held in the Th\nầy Temple, Hà Tây Province, during the Late Lê (Ly) Dynasty (1428–1778). The inscription on the Sùng Thiên Diên Linh stone stele (tablet) of 1121 at the Doi San ̣Pagoda, Duy Tien District (around 50 kilometers from Hanoi), provides evidence of water puppetry based on stories that reflect local lives and livelihoods and mythical creatures such as the golden tortoise, fairies, and flocks of birds and animals singing and dancing (Hai, 2006). Water puppet performance is a collaboration between puppeteers, musicians, the audience, and, \nimportantly, the character of the staging and spatial context of the performance within water landscapes. Today, performances generally consist of a series of short vignettes based on stories of traditional delta life and livelihoods, commonly interspersed with folk tales and mythological characters.Year2022NationUnited Kingdom

Good Practices in Policies and Activities on Safeguarding and Promoting Traditional Crafts for Sustainable Development in Communities: Yurt-Making Craft in the Ysyk-Kol Region of the Kyrgyz RepublicA yurt is a traditional dwelling of many nomadic people, including the Kyrgyz. The yurt consists of a circular wooden frame covered with felt and wrapped with ropes. A standard yurt has a diameter of 6 m, with a total area of 30 m². The average height is up to 3 m, and the diameter of the tündük (the roof of the yurt) can be as wide as 2 m. It is portable and can be easily assembled and dismantled within a short period of time. Yurts are characterized as easily transportable, compact, ecological, and practical. Their use has been a part of Kyrgyz nomadic culture for millennia. Making a yurt is a complex craft in its own right, bringing together almost every other traditional Kyrgyz handicraft, including woodworking, felt-making, weaving, embroidery, mat-making, and many others.Year2023NationKyrgyzstan
