“Intangible cultural heritage” refers to the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, and skills, as well as the instruments, artifacts, objects, and cultural spaces associated with them, that communities, groups, and in some cases, individuals, recognize as part of their cultural heritage. What is particularly significant is not the individual cultural manifestation itself, but the knowledge and skills that are passed down from generation to generation and recreated by communities and groups in response to their environment, interaction with nature, and their history. Intangible heritage provides a sense of identity and continuity, and promotes respect for cultural diversity, human creativity, sustainable development, and mutual respect among the communities and individuals involved. Did you know that Sustainability is also this? Sustainability is much more than a bike ride. #greenertogether #Sustainability

Long before the modern world recognized the importance of sustainability, Sanatan principles guided Indians toward harmony with nature. This timeless wisdom encourages balance, simplicity, and respect for the environment. *Key takeaways from Sanatan sustainability:* 1. Holistic approach: Interconnectedness and balance with nature. 2. Minimalism: Simple living, reducing waste, and non-possessiveness. 3. Community-focused: Self-sufficiency, local economies, and social responsibility. 4. Eco-friendly values: Preserving biodiversity, natural heritage, and environmental hygiene. 5. Mindful consumption: Contentment, gratitude, and responsible usage. *Reviving traditional principles for a sustainable future:* By embracing these ancient values, we can: 1. Foster eco-conscious lifestyles. 2. Promote sustainable development. 3. Preserve cultural heritage. 4. Encourage community engagement. 5. Ensure harmonious coexistence with nature.

As we embark on the journey of living in another country, we are confronted with a profound sense of living between belonging and not belonging, straddling two worlds—the familiarity of our old life and the allure of the new one. Immersing ourselves in the new culture, we are fueled by a deep curiosity to explore and understand the intricacies of our host country, as its sights, sounds, and flavors ignite our senses and awaken our desire for discovery. Over time, we gradually carve out our place in this new world, forming connections, establishing routines, and navigating daily life. As we engage with the community, our bonds strengthen, and we find ourselves embracing the host country as a second home—a place where shared values, common experiences, and a growing sense of acceptance take root, fostering a sense of belonging. Yet, amidst this integration, there remain subtle reminders that we are straddling two worlds, caught between the values of our home country and those of our adopted one. Living between belonging and not belonging becomes an ongoing journey —a bittersweet dialogue between the familiar and the foreign. We gain a broader perspective, appreciating the beauty of diversity and the complexities of cultural blending. It is in this delicate balance that we find a unique sense of self, enriching our worldview and nurturing empathy for those who navigate multiple cultures. At a certain point, we may also no longer feel completely at home in our old life that we left behind. As we immerse ourselves in the new culture and environment, our perspectives and outlooks can undergo significant change. #living #abroad #expats

Here at JourneyPalette we acknowledge and appreciate the significant roles played by museums in ensuring centuries worth of knowledge and cultural practices, which are a large part of who we are as people are preserved for future generations to get a glimpse into our current life and challenges we faced as a result of our decisions which will later serve as a reference for upcoming generations. Museums are not only repositories of culture but also allies in the fight for a greener, more sustainable world.Museums engage with local communities, encouraging environmental stewardship. Events, workshops, and partnerships promote sustainable living and conservation. Educational Role: Museums educate and inform visitors. By showcasing works focused on climate change and environmental issues, they can raise awareness and inspire action. Community Influence: Cultural institutions are central to the communities they serve. They can encourage cities to adopt sustainable practices by leading by example. In summary, museums can model a cleaner, greener, and more equitable future by integrating sustainability into their curricula, exhibits, and operations1. 🌿🏛️ #museum #museumlover #sustainabletourism #journeypalette #experientialtravel

What is Cultural Sustainability, and Why is it Important? Cultural sustainability focuses on preserving and promoting the cultural heritage, practices, and values of communities while adapting to change. It's essential for maintaining the unique identity and traditions that enrich societies. Key points about cultural sustainability include: 1. Preservation of Traditions: Cultural sustainability involves protecting traditional practices, languages, and art forms that reflect a community’s identity and history. This preservation helps maintain cultural diversity and provides a sense of continuity. 2. Adaptation and Innovation: While preserving traditions is crucial, cultural sustainability also encourages adapting and integrating new ideas. This balance helps communities stay relevant and resilient in a changing world. 3. Community Engagement: Involving local communities in cultural sustainability efforts ensures that their needs and values are respected. This approach fosters a sense of ownership and pride, enhancing the overall well-being of the community. In our self-sustainable city project, we prioritize cultural sustainability by integrating local traditions and practices into our development plans. Discover how we are blending modern sustainability with cultural preservation and join us in creating a vibrant and resilient community. #CulturalSustainability #CommunityHeritage #SustainableLiving #SelfSustainableCity #CulturalPreservation #InnovativeTraditions https://lnkd.in/gZbB2zKS
