Through this project; -We promoted the value of ICH and made more visible them. -We encouraged transmission of ICH and fostered them in places of their origin. -We emphasized the need for safeguarding of traditional heritage in the society they belonged. -We introduced other countries' cultural elements to respect cultural diversity. -We implemented the elements of ICH to teaching programmes in our schools.
This project was very important to contribute to understanding the cultural diversity,global citizenship,safeguarding ICH and transmission ICH to next generations.Because of today's busy life styles,cultural preservation's future was at risk.In globalizing world,our students were lack of knowledge about their own culture and they were tended to humiluating other cultures.Therefore their cultural awareness and skills needed to be improved.So our schools implemented their teaching and learning programmes with living heritage to have more conscious students about cultures.Our schools' teachers integrated ICH into the existing curricula and relevant cultural topics to their disiplines by defining their own teaching methods,so the students improved understanding of cultural heritage,preservation and safeguarding.Each school defined ICH elements(from UNESCO's Representative List)and the teachers set up some workshops in History,Foreign Language,Geography,Literature etc..by developing lesson plans and learning activities regarding the list..This workshops improved the critical thinking about heritage and the lives of their families,comminities and societies through taking their responsibility in the transmisson of ICH.
