Let us celebrate living heritage On 11 September 2023, La Poste issued a service stamp for franking letters from UNESCO. Twenty years ago, at its 32nd session, the UNESCO General Conference adopted the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage. Organized under the theme We are the “Heritage)Attainment, this anniversary is an opportunity to question the role of the 2003 Convention in raising awareness of the diversity and richness of intangible cultural heritage. It is also a question of reflecting on the directions it can take in the coming decades to foster truly sustainable development and a greater awareness of the importance of living heritage. Living heritage is the people who practice it in communities, and it is the resilience and knowledge passed on from generation to generation. Africa is one of the most active regions for the preservation of living heritage. This heritage plays a fundamental role in building a strong cultural identity in every community. This stamp honors the popular dance and music practiced by the Gouro communities, in the departments of Bouaflé and zuenil, in Côte d’Ivoire. It has an educational, playful and aesthetic function. Tribute to female beauty, it is inspired by two masks: Blou and Djela. The owners and practitioners of the zaouli are sculptors, craftsmen, instrumentalists, singers, dancers and notables. They are the guarantors of the customs and traditions of their community. As a carrier of the cultural identity of its holders, it also contributes to the preservation of the environment and promotes integration and social cohesion.
