Werkplaats Immaterieel Erfgoed is the organization for intangible heritage in Flanders.

“We are committed to uncovering and strengthening the power of intangible heritage at the heart of our contemporary and diverse society. We are there for everyone who is involved in intangible heritage. And with everyone who supports it: in the heritage sector and far beyond, at home and abroad. As a UNESCO-accredited NGO, we want to help safeguard the vibrant traditions and practices of tomorrow, with an approach full of collaboration, cross-pollination and with always up-to-date perspectives.

As the point of contact for intangible heritage in Flanders, we spotlight intangible heritage as much as possible. Together with the Flemish government, we manage the website immaterialerfgoed.be. We provide question hours, we organize (networking) events, we facilitate internships, we work on knowledge building and sharing, and so on.”
