Intangible Cultural Heritage

Mentorship Programme

Through a structured curriculum, the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Mentorship Programme facilitates knowledge transmission from practitioners of ICH to youths. It aims to connect interested youths with skilled mentors, mould the next generation of ICH practitioners, provide them with exposure to showcase their craft, and preserve the practice of the craft. It also aims to create a network of young practitioners, among whom they can find mutual support and potential synergies with. 

Each iteration of the programme focuses on an ICH craft, and culminates in a mentees’ showcase.
