Intangible Cultural Heritage
Colombia currently has fifteen elements inscribed on UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage, three of them are on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage that requires urgent safeguarding measures and one of them stands out in the Register of Good Safeguarding Practices.
UNESCO distinguishes three main categories within the recognition of intangible cultural heritage:
This list includes living cultural expressions and practices that reflect the diversity and creativity of human communities. Its objective is to give visibility and international recognition to traditions that strengthen the sense of identity and belonging, without necessarily being in danger. In the map below, these elements are represented in green.
This list is made up of elements that are at risk of disappearance or loss of their social function. With this category, UNESCO seeks to promote the adoption of specific measures for its transmission and revitalization. On the map below, these elements are marked in orange.
Unlike previous lists, this registry does not refer to a specific cultural manifestation, but to exemplary programs, projects or strategies that effectively contribute to the protection and revitalization of intangible cultural heritage. On the map below, this practice is shown in blue.
