Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) emphasizes traditions passed on from generation to generation, forming links between the past and the present and providing cultural identity and cohesion for communities. To help preserve ICH, the City University of Hong Kong has implemented a project named the "Intangible Cultural Heritage Artist-in-Residence". Inviting artists to teach basic techniques in a hands-on way helps students understand that not everything of value is new and done overnight, to cultivate their awareness of the value of our heritage and respect for people and things.
