In 2012, at the meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee of the UNESCO 2003 Convention in Baku, Azerbaijan, the ICH NGO Forum decided to establish an online journal with the title #HeritageAlive.
The journal sought to share NGOs experiences regarding safeguarding practices, both good and bad, within the area of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The concept was to share knowledge from fieldwork in communities and with practitioners, between the UNESCO accredited NGOs and experts, in order to learn from each other. An editorial board was formed, with members from all over the world, and Eivind Falk was elected as the first Editor in Chief. From 2023 Rachel Gefferie have been in charge as the new Editor-In-Chief. The online journal has published articles on a variety of different themes concerned Intangible cultural heritage and response. In cooperation with ICHCAP we have published four books on different themes. You will find them available as pdf’s here.
The members of the #Heritage Alive editorial board are:
Rachel Gefferie, Antoine Gauthier, Michael Peterson, Vakil Jayarajan, Laura Lopez, Ki Leonce, Gabriele Desiderio, Ananya Bhattacharya, Okello Quinto, Yara Moualla, Hanhee Hahm, Charlotte Courtois, Bochra Laghssais and Eivind Falk.
