GICHWG strategy



The first steps of a Geopark Intangible Cultural Heritage global strategy should be based on an experimental stage realized in the territory of the Geoparks members of the GICHWG.

This experimental stage could be oriented on 3 action lines:

1 - Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory
It should consider the 5 ICH broad domains as defined in the ICH definition chapter
For the first inventory stage a simple listing could be enough.
An inventory form draft is prepared.


2 - Living Human Treasure Inventory

 inventory form draft

3 - Religious and Sacred sites Inventory
inventory form draft


All the 3 inventory form could be modified, after receiving your suggestions, during our next EGN meeting in Spain.


Remark:
It is important to develop participatory “bottom-up” methodologies and involve local communities all along the inventory process.


Contacts are in developement between GICHWG coordination and IUCN, UNESCO and ICOMOS specialist to develop cooperation, in the future, for a Geopark ICH methodology.
