The importance of documenting ICH in the face of natural disasters
Experiences from Bonaire.
Liliane de Geus, M.A., M.Sc.
Representative of NGO Fuhikubo and UNESCO Global Facilitator
Abstract:
It is important to document our heritage through oral history. The knowledge passed down from generation to generation involves not only celebrations, but knowledge of the situations people experienced and how they dealt with them. These serve as predictions as well as support and grip. This case study from Bonaire will explain the methods and the processes of preparing documentation on natural disasters on the island.
