The World Intangible Cultural Heritage Conservation Center (WICHCC) is dedicated to preserving, promoting, and safeguarding intangible cultural heritage around the world. Our mission is to ensure that the rich traditions, expressions, knowledge, and skills of diverse communities are maintained, celebrated, and passed down to future generations. By working collaboratively with communities, governments, and international partners, we strive to safeguard the cultural expressions that define our humanity and connect us across generations.
We envision a world where intangible cultural heritage is fully recognized, valued, and preserved. Through our efforts, we aim to ensure that the living expressions of culture, passed down through generations, continue to enrich societies, foster cultural diversity, and contribute to sustainable development.
