This is also an opportunity for the participating community to improve their capacity in protecting cultural heritage; introduce themselves, share information as well as expand cooperation and connection opportunities.

At this program, artisans and representatives of the heritage-owning communities shared the advantages as well as the challenges and difficulties facing each craft village and heritage.

They also expressed their hope for support in developing sustainable heritage, expanding markets for local products, and developing and managing heritage tourism .

Through the sharing of experts, the community is equipped with knowledge to identify and select heritage to introduce; practice skills in recording, collecting, editing, connecting images, sounds, and introductions to form stories about the cultural life of ethnic groups through their own perspectives.

The program also equips students with many skills to promote the traditional cultural heritage values of their residential community such as: identifying, analyzing, selecting and introducing cultural heritages of which they are the subject, most notably the photovoice technique - telling their own cultural stories...
