Research question:

What is the perception of the municipalities covered by the area of activity of the Regional Directorate for Culture of the Centre (DRCC) regarding the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) practised in their territories?

This is an exploratory study aimed at the following objectives: characterising the ICH manifestations identified by those responsible in each municipality; raising awareness among municipalities and the population of the importance of a systematic inventory of their ICH, which is particularly urgent in the case of manifestations at risk of disappearing.
