undefined. Sub-Topic 1: Understanding Intangible Cultural Heritage.

[Audio] This course aims to provide students with a thorough understanding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). We will explore the implications and the relationship with globalisation. By taking this course, students will become more enlightened as to the purpose and practicality of ICH and have the opportunity to deepen their participation in our international cultural environment..

[Audio] Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) is a heritage that expresses the identity of a group or community. It is expressed in various cultural forms which helps the community to establish their sense of identity, continuity, and mutual respect. Adaptability is a significant part of ICH since the culture keeps evolving, requiring adaptation to the specific context. Preservation of ICH is thus the primary aim of the course. The definitions, scope and globalization of ICH will be discussed in detail, giving much insight on how ICH is interacted with and influenced by globalization. After completing this course, students will be able to recognize and understand ICH, its scope, adaptability, and how globalization affects its preservation..

[Audio] ICH or Intangible Cultural Heritage is an incredibly diverse and dynamic concept which encompasses the passing down of knowledge and wisdom, practices and rituals that make a culture and the subtle expression of identity. It is all around us and part of all of us. It is different from tangible heritage as its focus is on the more intangible aspects of culture such as performing arts, oral traditions, social customs and rituals. These expressions shape human creativity and identity..

[Audio] ICH is not just a relic of the past; it is a vibrant and evolving cultural expression that has been passed down through generations, carrying with it the values, knowledge, and skills of various communities. It includes a wide array of traditional crafts, rituals, and oral histories that are intertwined with a culture's own history and identity. Examples include woodworking, pottery, and other forms of artistic expression, as well as storytelling and music. This gives us an imperative to protect and celebrate ICH, as it is a significant part of understanding and valuing the unique backgrounds that make up our world..

[Audio] Preserving and protecting cultures requires the transmission of intangible cultural heritage (ICH). Through transmission, ICH helps to foster connections within communities and keeps alive a collective memory. Adaptability is critical for ICH to remain relevant in today's ever-changing world. This is achieved by allowing ICH to evolve over time while still upholding its core essence..

[Audio] Cultural identity and resilience are integral elements of intangible cultural heritage. ICH is more than a representation of cultural identity, it is a way for communities to maintain a link between generations, passing down traditions. ICH is also able to develop and grow over time, giving it the capacity to be resilient and stay relevant even under changing circumstances, never cutting ties to its roots..

[Audio] Cultural diversity grants us access to a wealth of knowledge and creativity. ICH is a platform through which we can laud the diversity of our respective cultures and safeguard cultural heritage for generations to come. It instructs us to recognize the singularity of different cultures and establish contact between them. By using ICH, we can come to appreciate and admire the contrasts between us and, as a result, create a stronger bond between individuals, communities, and cultures..

[Audio] ICH is a complex and diverse subject that carries a wealth of potential. It encompasses a great variety of practices, rituals, and customs that stem from different cultural backgrounds. Through ICH, we can observe the richness of human expression, from the most local activities to global phenomena. The scope of ICH is expansive and the elements go beyond what we traditionally think of as “cultural heritage.” ICH is more than language and music- it can also include craftsmanship, stories, festivals, and more. It is important to understand the range of ICH in order to appreciate the full breadth of human creativity..

[Audio] ICH is a powerful tool for promoting cultural diversity, a tool that brings people and cultures together while celebrating the unique traditions of each. ICH serves as a vibrant connection between the past, present, and future, making sure that centuries of heritage are not lost. ICH can foster intercultural dialogue, help sustain cultural identities, and encourage an appreciation of cultural diversity. It is for these reasons that ICH is so important and why we must make sure that it is preserved and respected into the future..

[Audio] As globalization intensifies, cultural exchange between different countries and regions increases significantly. Cuisine, music, art, and fashion from around the world becoming more visible within various countries. Intangible cultural heritage (ICH) responds to global influences by adapting and evolving, while also showcasing its resilience. Local stories and traditions that are shared between different cultures may take on a variety of forms as they exchange knowledge and ideas. Traditional crafts and music may combine with influences from other parts of the world, creating new and innovative expressions. This allows intangible cultural heritage to remain relevant in a globalized context, and for it to thrive..

[Audio] Preserving Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) is a key aspect of uniting communities across the globe, ignoring geographical borders and enabling cultural exchange. To safeguard our unique cultural heritages, we need to adopt effective practices that result in the conservation of ICH for a sustainable future..

[Audio] Globalization is an intricate phenomenon that continues to influence our societies in numerous ways. It has the capacity to form a more uniform global culture, which might lead to the eradication of traditional customs and values. However, it also brings together cultures from all over the world, offering a platform of exchange for different thoughts. This is particularly relevant for intangible cultural traditions that have obtained increased worldwide acknowledgement and interaction due to globalization. Nevertheless, it is not without its issues and possibilities. We must persist in finding and protecting vulnerable cultural customs, but also grasp the options that globalization provides for worldwide cultural understanding and interrelation..

[Audio] We will now investigate the relationship between Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), identity, and language. How do identity and language shape ICH? How does language influence identities? We will gain a deeper understanding of these questions by the end of this exploration, so let's begin..
