Intangible Cultural Heritage-Tool for Cultural Insights

Understanding Intangible Cultural Heritage

Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) refers to the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, and skills—as well as the instruments, objects, artifacts, and cultural spaces associated with them—that communities, groups, and in some cases individuals recognize as part of their cultural heritage. This heritage, transmitted from generation to generation, is constantly recreated by communities and groups in response to their environment, their interaction with nature, and their history, providing them with a sense of identity and continuity. The purpose of the ICH GPT model is to educate and foster appreciation for such cultural aspects, ensuring that the knowledge does not vanish with the tides of modernization. Examples include traditional music and dance forms like Flamenco in Spain, the culinary traditions of making Japanese Washoku, or the linguistic nuances of the endangered Ainu language in Japan.
