5. Identifying Ways to Develop Intangible Heritage Festivals through Community Networks (Focusing on the Case of the Gijisi Tug-of-War Festival)
The tug-of-war is widely spread throughout the world, especially in agricultural communities. The Gijisi Tug-of-War Festival is highly regarded. Held on the second weekend in April, it has a five-hundred-year history. The event, which is based on agriculture, fishery, and merchant traditions, is held to wish for prosperity and good luck for the coming year. The tug-of-war represents the agricultural, rural, and social characteristics of the region. The rope used for the event is two hundred meters long and one meter thick, so it is truly a community event. Similar tug-of-war games are also held in other nations. After creating a museum for Gijisi tug-of-war, members discovered that it could be a symbol of the region, so the local government invested into the museum. After building the museum, we wanted to expand our knowledge of tug-of-war events in other countries. In the past, there wasn’t much communication among the different communities celebrating tug-of-war festivities. However, after building the museum, we had the opportunity to invite other countries as a sort of network that allows research into other types of tug-of-war in the Asia-Pacific region. As Gijisi tug-of-war is well known, we thought that having a festival to display other cultures’ traditional tug-of-war through a networked festival. \n\nTug-of-war (juldarigi in Korean) is an intangible heritage that is commonly found in various regions across the world. In particular, it is a popular activity that takes place with the aim to foster harmony and solidarity among communities in rice-farming regions across Korea, Japan,and various Southeast Asian countries.

Na dau talitali - Ki na veisiga ni mataka(Art of Mat Weaving - What Direction for the Future?)
Documentation of cultures and traditions at the Fiji Museum was primarily done with audio recording devices. However, video production was introduced in the mid-90s to explore the power of both audio and visual for communication. Fiji Museum's first video was titled "The Art of Mat Weaving." The choice of mat weaving as a subject for documentation signifies the importance of this art form for the Indigenous Fijians or iTaukei and for most of the ethnic communities in the Pacific region. Mat weaving is predominantly a female domain and one that measures the yau, or wealth, of a family. Mats are widely used by the iTaukei for homes and cultural exchanges. The art of mat weaving is still alive in traditional rural communities, but is slowly diminishing in urban centers. With fewer skilled mat weavers around and the high demand for the commodity, prices for mats have continued to rise. It has become an important source of income for skilled mat weavers.In Fiji, there are two main resources in making mats, Pandanus Caricous, locally known as voivoi and kuta. Voivoi is an important raw material used in making mats, especially for communities living in the maritime and coastal areas. Meanwhile, kuta, a special reed, is used among inland tribes in larger volcanic islands.\n\nThis video explores both the traditional and commercial aspect of mat weaving. However, one of the main challenges in this tradition is the availability of raw materials that are being affected by agricultural activities.\n\nRelated Collection can be found at shorturl.at/apuxR

THE ART OF MASKS MAKING - UP IN HAT BOI
As a UNESCO category 2 center, ICHCAP organized the youth ICH storytelling contest with the aim to support ICH safeguarding activities of young practitioners. Youth practitioners play an essential role, as ICH relies on direct transmission among community members. Their activities and involvement will hopefully contribute to raising awareness of ICH worth protecting. The story below won the Grand Prize of the 2019 Asia-Pacific Youth ICH Storytelling Contest. \n\n---------------------------------\nThe Hát Bội is Vietnamese intangible traditional performing art which has taken shape, developed during Vietnam history and is still preserved. The Hát Bội is form of traditonal opera which has a 500 old year long history of development in Vietnam. It contains features close to the culture in many other countries in Asia. My name is Anh Quan, I am sophomore of The Ho Chi Minh City University of Culture in Vietnam. \n\nWhen I started in junior high school, I had opportunity to study and enjoy The Hát Bội. These images, stage, eyes, gestures of The Hát Bội are so excited. But I strongly impress by artists’ face. This emotion is always with me in my thoughts. When I have been a student. Immediately, I go to The Ho Chi Minh city Hát Bội Theater to learn more about this art. Hát Bội relies on the principles of symbolization and stylization. These principles prodoundly influence Hát Bội typical dance/ gesture and makeup by which Hát Bội in distinguished from other traditional performing arts. Being the essences of Hát Bội, gesture and dance are perfomrmed based on several rules of symbolization and stylization with the aim of sophisticatedly expressing the feeling and emotion of characters and other implications of plays. These artists of Hát Bội have to understand very well about principles of symbolization and stylization and when they makeup and. Makeup is definitely the outward essence Hát Bội indicate the specific and personality of every character. The articial materials for making-up a disguise includes as followings: Multi-colours-lipsitcks, powder in multi-colors, the balckening-wax or the ash-like-black powder, the zinc-powder in golden-red– a mixture of the deep-red and golden powder, powder in blue, in green, and in yellow. With many special kinds of professional tools, such as: Tooth sticks, fingernail like kinife flat which look like a spoon – flat and made of wood.\n\nI observe artists makeup , I dream that i can makeup like them. I want to pursue my dream of being one of characters of Hát Bội. With the help of Thanh Bình Artist, I have fulfilled my dream. I feel virtuosity, sophistication and passion of Thanh Binh Artist when he makeup for me.\nThe face painting in an original feature in Hát Bội as well as in some forms of opera in Southeast Asia .The make-up in Hát Bội ( chiefly for male personages , rarely for female ones) includes three main parts : painting the complexion, drawing lines on the face and pasting false beards. There is nothing called the realistic things to identify but absolutely living - symbols in the art of the Hát Bội with its speical ways of disguiting for whole characters at all.\n \nLooking at the face makeup, the audiences can understand wether a character is good or bad, loyal or disloyal, etc. Below are some basic colour used in Hát Bội makeupnRed: Loyal, unyielding personnWhite: artful flatterernGreen: intelligent person or person with venturesome spirit or short lifenYellow: gentle and virtuous personnBlack: Furious and vigorous personnThat is the dialectics of the art of theatrical masks attained by masterly (mask makers, makeup, artist). nThe above special things may be generally get a common concept for us all to comprehend some intersted – things in many kinds of the characters and characteristics in traditional culture and art of the Hát Bội. \n\nThe Hát Bội has any characters. Currently, plays of Hát Bội are mainly performed at the temple (or shrine). The young generation do not strongly like the traditional art include The Hát Bội. Few young people are passionate about traditional art, this situation make the training for young people quite so difficult. For make youth generation learn more about The Hát Bội. Over the past years, The Ho Chi Minh city Hát Bội Theater has organized program called “The school stage” to introduce The Hát Bội to pupils and students.\n\nThis program around the content: history of formation and development of The Hát Bội, dance, and makeup art. Besides that, performance of historical topics, excerpts about children to raise patriotism, hope students have the opportunity to learn more about The Hát Bội. I think this working is very well for young people. That thing will make me and young people will love and have positive emotion with the traditonal stage. I hope The Ho Chi Minh city Hát Bội Theater always create other program to performance for community. To get deeply understanding about Hát Bội, warmly welcome to The Ho Chi Minh city Hát Bội Theater – Vietnam. I am so happy when I have chance to get experience and share excited valid content of The Hát Bội for every body. Vietnam also has so many traditonal arts. The Hát Bội is one of them. For protecting and delivering The Hát Bội, I think the young generation have to focus on studing intangible culture of country. I aslo contribute a little working for do that. I hope other young person will do that like me. I am going to keep my passion to learn more about traditonal of Vietnam also the other coutries over the world. Vietnam - a friendly destinaton always warmly welcome all of you, we have so many stories to talk with you. When you meet me together, I am going to “play” the Hát Bội for you.

Challenges and Opportunities for Teaching ICH as a Core Knowledge Requirement and Practice within Heritage Education
A competencies framework for cultural heritage management in Asia and the Pacific has been recently developed by the UNESCO Regional Office (Bangkok) with the help of many partners and contributors. While it is acknowledged that some people will be knowledge bearers themselves, and others will have highly specialized disciplinary knowledge and skills in ICH, it also sets out the ICH competency expected at other ‘levels’ of work in heritage management. Alongside this work, an important network of Universities and other Higher Education institutions in the region involved specifically in ICH was formed in 2018, recognizing that the University sector has a role to play in fostering ICH competencies. Surveys by ICHCAP and other institutions has demonstrated that higher education teaching and learning in ICH is provided in diverse programs across the region, and should be strengthened. And in 2020, our thinking about strategies to enhance ICH teaching in the region has been greatly affected by the many impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, Kristal Buckley shares her experience on education in the field of intangible cultural heritage focusing on heritage education with digital literacy responding to pandemic.\n\nKRISTAL BUCKLEY AM is a Lecturer in Cultural Heritage at Deakin University (Melbourne, Australia). She has professional qualifications in archaeology, anthropology and public policy, and has worked in private practice, government, teaching and research. Her work has a focus on World Heritage, naturecultures, and urban landscapes. Ms. Buckley served as an international Vice-President of ICOMOS from 2005-2014, and works as an ICOMOS World Heritage Advisor.
