The "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity" refers to practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, and skills that communities recognize as part of their cultural heritage. This concept emphasizes the importance of traditions such as oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, and festive events that contribute to cultural identity and diversity. UNESCO plays a key role in safeguarding this heritage by listing elements that are significant to various cultures worldwide. Examples include traditional music, craftsmanship, and rituals that are passed down through generations, ensuring that these cultural expressions are preserved and appreciated for future generations.
