This section hosts voices relevant to intangible cultural heritage, it is intentionally broad-based in its thematic conceptualization in order to establish a space that facilitates interaction from those involved and interested in this field.
By recording opinion, debate, deliberations and commentary pieces – dating from 1999 to the present day -we do not merely seek to conserve but also stimulate thought. This access to the world of ideas we hope will spread and multiply discussion and debate on issues that exercise us all.
We seek to continuously add to this section, thus increasing the information base, and enhancing the depth and relevance of the site.
