UNESCO: Register of Good Safeguarding Practices 2021

Description: In 1995, the Subcommission on Cultural Communities and Traditional Arts of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts – the lead agency mandated to preserve, promote and develop Philippine culture and the arts – affirmed the need to safeguard traditional knowledge and practices from rapid cultural devaluation. This paved the way for the School of Living Traditions programme, involving informal, communitymanaged learning centres where practitioners can transmit their communities’ knowledge, intangible cultural heritage, skills and values to younger generations.
