An international organization of municipalities and NGOs working in the field
of intangible cultural heritage has opened the door to admitting the Heritage
Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador (HFNL) as an associate member.
The Inter-City Intangible Cultural Cooperation Network (ICCN) is an
international organization of local governments and cultural organizations that aims to safeguard the world’s intangible cultural
heritage, with its main office in the city of Gangneung, Republic of Korea. ICCN works to explore creative and effective
policies for the safeguarding of local intangible cultural heritage and its relationship to sustainable local development. HFNL
was granted temporary membership in the organization at ICCN’s General Assembly in the city of Isfahan, Iran, held October
8 to 12, 2014.
“I believe that your presence will make our network stronger and able to diversify discussions with sharing your experiences in
the safeguarding local intangible culture,” writes Myeong-hee Choi, ICCN Representative, and Mayor of Gangneung. “The
passion of your inhabitants and community toward local art and culture will give a great inspiration to the ICCN and our
members.”
Gangneung is located on the east coast of South Korea. It has a population of 229,869, and boasts a strong history of supporting
intangible cultural heritage initiatives, including the UNESCO- inscribed Gangneung Danoje Festival, which includes a variety
of folk play performances, folk songs, oral narrative poetry, and various popular pastimes and traditional games.
In addition to HFNL, other organizations recognized by ICCN in 2014 include: the National Museum of the Romanian
Peasant, Romania; the International Center for Folklore and Culture, India; the Hungarian open air museum; and the Rimon
School of Music, Israel.
Currently, HFNL has been accepted as a temporary member. Permanent membership as an associate member requires the
submission of an annual activity report documenting HFNL’s work safeguarding and promoting local ICH, before the ICCN
board meeting in the autumn of 2015.
