Safeguarding

Safeguarding is at the heart of the UNESCO 2003 Convention.

The bearers of tradition are at the centre of the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage. Society supports communities, associations and people practising traditions by various means. Additionally, in Finland there is a large and established infrastructure for e.g. education, research, cultural memory organisations and cultural institutions, which support the safeguarding and transferal of intangible cultural heritage.
