Conclusion
Cultural heritage does not end at monuments and collections of objects. It also includes oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, festive events, knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe or the knowledge and skills to produce traditional crafts. These traditions or living expressions are inherited from our ancestors and passed on to our descendants, have evolved in response to their environments and contribute to giving us a sense of identity and continuity. These cultural expressions are known as intangible cultural heritage. Intangible cultural heritage is an important factor in maintaining cultural diversity in the face of growing globalization.
