The Supported Entities within the Douroub Framework in 2024: Supporting and Empowering Organizations Working in the Field of Intangible Cultural Heritage

In 2024, we launched a framework to support and empower financial, institutional, and institutional knowledge for entities and SMEs working in the fields of the intangible cultural heritage of Syria, mainly located in Syria and Lebanon. This component aims to provide institutional support, enable program design and management expertise, documentation and archiving skills, and promote the basic principles of heritage conservation which include ensuring active engagement with local communities, social impact, sustainable and non-exploitative economic integration, etc.
 
In the past years and for more than a decade, independent organizations and groups active in the field of intangible heritage have played an important role in safeguarding and protecting heritage against various threats (economic, security, and environmental). They have strived to promote the role of this heritage in alleviating societal division. They have warned against the dangers of attacks, distortion, and threats targeting intangible heritage from the various ruling forces on the ground.
