This survey on teaching and learning with living heritage represents an initial effort to document the integration of intangible cultural heritage(ICH) in school-based learning among the UNESCO Associated Schools Network (ASPnet) across the European Union, and to identify possible opportunities and challenges for teachers and learners when working with living heritage in curricular or extracurricular activities.

This pilot survey was developed under the joint UNESCO-EU pilot project called 2018 European Year of Cultural Heritage: Engaging Youth for an Inclusive and Sustainable Europe. The project proposes an innovative approach to education by inviting teachers and learners to explore their living heritage and learn not only about it, but also with and through it.
