Abstract

The paper explores the role of intangible heritage in promoting peace and identity in conflict zones. It aims to present an alternative approach to conflict reduction by focusing creating awareness on the cultural traditions and their global recognition in such regions and on the development of new opportunities for promoting intangible cultural practises and traditions in conflict zones. The study reveal that recognising intangible heritage not only protects cultural diversity but also empowers individuals, contributing to a broad recognition and thorough understanding of conflict zones facilitating peaceful coexistence. The traditional emphasis on tangible property is replaced here with a focus on intangible cultural practises and traditions.
