After ratification of the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, or even before the step of ratification is taken, the intangible cultural heritage should be identified and documented. think heritage! is prepared to assist you in this process and based on workshops, qualitative surveys and discussions with local experts and heritage practitioners, to provide you a first overview of intangible cultural heritage present in your territory.

At your request think heritage! identifies the practitioner communities, local representatives and societies that can act as contacts for further cooperation and evaluates the state of transmission and potential need for community support. We will document the expressions in written, audio–, or video formats and suggest suitable approaches towards the establishment of inventories. Our expert team can further assess which heritage expressions in your territory could qualify for inclusion as elements on the Representative List or the Urgent Safeguarding List of the 2003 UNESCO Convention as well as identify good practices to be shared with the international heritage guardian community.
