IP day 'De Gemene Dealer' (The common denominator) report

On Saturday November 2, 2019 our autumn ICH day took place in the Castle Farm of the Dutch Open Air Museum. The autumnal weather did not stop the eighty participants from traveling to Arnhem, where they were challenged to search together for 'the common denominator'.

#This too ?!
In the morning the campaign #ditook ?! (this too) was launched: an online campaign in which we want to make the whole of the Netherlands aware of the power of intangible cultural heritage. After all, intangible cultural heritage belongs to and is for everyone!

Transketeers
Then Chris Rijksen, one of the three Transketeers, performed. Moral of his story? We are all actually a cookie. And if you want to build a cubicle (with conservatory and roof terrace) you can, but you can also occasionally switch between cubicles. Or somewhere in between.

Did you know...?
The visitors were then briefly informed about the developments regarding intangible cultural heritage and the Dutch Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage. Curious? Read our here Did you know ...?

Across the line
At the end of the morning, the participants were divided into two groups for the 'Crossing the Line' workshop. A line was drawn on the floor in the center of the room. Based on propositions, participants were able to choose which side they were on and to exchange thoughts and hints on this. For example about: " I sometimes find it difficult to involve new people because they may want to introduce new things," " Legislation and regulations require more and more from the administration " and "I want to collaborate more with other intangible cultural heritage communities ."

Hackatons: Raising awareness and motivating and Governments
In the afternoon there were four workshops: the hackathons 'governments' and 'motivate and raise awareness'. The participants cracked various questions within the theme. Brainstorming about questions such as: 'How can you make participants in your intangible cultural heritage aware that they are in a tradition? How do you show that it is' more than a fun party? ',' How can you deal with the 'generation differences' within your intangible cultural heritage (community), so that there is room for input from both the younger and older ones? generations? " and within the theme governments on, among other things: " How can you better involve the (local) government in your intangible cultural heritage so that they can / want to think along with you?" and "How do you ensure that your province or municipality understands what your intangible cultural heritage contributes to society?"

Volunteer Management and Intangible Cultural Heritage Crash Course
In the Training for Volunteer Management (part 2) by David Wijnperle, the participants of the Training for Volunteer Management learned how to reward and retain volunteers (two of the six B's for volunteer management).

During the Intangible Cultural Heritage Crash Course, the participants were briefed on everything you need to know about intangible cultural heritage: what is intangible cultural heritage, what are the Network and Inventory and the 2003 UNESCO Convention?

Intangible Heritage in action: Tambú
After an intensive day full of inspiration and exchange, the group was treated to a spectacular performance by the occasional formation: Rincho i Grupo Revolushon. Tambú stands for the music, the drum, the dance and the gathering, Rincho taught us. The group played a Dutch tambú song, among other things. That is special, because tambú is normally sung in Papiamentu.
