Social Media Network & Cultural Awareness • SM will support citizens for heritage awareness and participation in shaping their cultural heritage and being shaped by it. • It will enable them to share their local knowledge and everyday experience with others. • It will facilitate a “continuing” process [Sustainability Factor] for creating, modifying and safeguarding heritage where citizens will be prosumers and maintainers of cultural activities.

Social Media & ICH Universal Value • UNESCO disseminates YouTube videos of all the elements on the representative list. • Individuals have been producing videos of the same practices safeguarded by UNESCO and uploading them to the site. • YouTube has become a means of conservation by realizing UNESCO’s
safeguarding measures of identification, documentation, and transmission within a non-formal educational medium. (Pietrobruno, 2012) Sunday, 31 March, 2019

Social Media & ICH Universal Value • The combination of UNESCO and user-generated ICH videos on YouTube is producing informal archives. (official heritage narratives through the crossreferencing and the co-presence of divergent visual representations) • As users continuously upload ICH videos recorded from actual events, their archiving has the potential to store ICH in ways that reflect its development in lived circumstances, capturing heritage as a process that adapts and changes to its environment.

Social Media & ICH Universal Value Story-making initiatives have existed in more static forms online for some time, and involve asking members of the public to offer re-presentations of themselves, their communities, and their multiple heritages using SM as a filter.

Social Media, ICH & Sustainability In terms of education, knowledge, information, tradition, cultural life, and communication, SM and ICH share a number of commonalities, and they both need a cooperative relationship. When SM operates as a communication tool, it has synergetic effects: • When SM helps us understand ICH, people can understand different cultures. • When SM educates people about ICH, it is a entertainment form. • Finding possible means of safeguarding ICH ultimately saves traditional values.
• When SM encourages people to appreciate ICH and participate in safeguarding ICH, it creates a greater sense of familiarity that can help eradicate cultural conflicts in the future. • Inheriting ICH values saves our identity and humanity. • SM helps us to discover the potential ICH that has as an agent in creating sustainable futures for the next generation.

ICH Tourism & Stakeholders • Government is a main stakeholder, who to provide the Legislative Context & to manage the interrelationships between other ICH stakeholders. • Developers are the major investors in the development of ICH tourism; they explore the tourism value and the economic value of ICH tourism and have complicated commodity economic relationship with the inheritors. • Tourists are the demand of the ICH products; whether satisfy their demand or not determines the lifeblood of the ICH products. ICH can get publicity and be promoted through the spread effect of tourists. (Kurin, 2003; Bingham et. al., 2005; Vidal González 2008; Quan & Zeng, 2012; Shi et. al. 2016) Sunday, 31 March, 2019

ICH Tourism & Stakeholders • The popular audience can guide more people to join the protection and inheritance of ICH. • Social community, as the “ground” of the ICH inheritance; their interest appeal is based on improving the life quality to obtain the sense of pride and approval to own culture. • Experts, media & civil society. They have strong social responsibility; their
participation can be the backbone of the social supervision and contains the excessive business development possibilities. (Kurin, 2003; Bingham et. al., 2005; Vidal González 2008; Quan & Zeng, 2012; Shi et. al. 2016) Sunday, 31 March, 2019

Social Media Investment ICH is responding to a perceived demand for different forms of engagement, and exploring the possibilities that such
moments of engagement, however facilitated, represent for audience development, marketing, personalizing their offer,
and seeking to ‘prove’ their vitality, diversity and relevance (Kidd, 2011) Sunday, 31 March, 2019

Social Media and Heritage Branding •
a messaging process
•
the brand message must be simple, consistent and reinforced by experience catching the audience's eye and their imagination.
•
It requires name, term, sign, symbol, logo, slogans, taglines, design, advertising, public relations or a collection of these which enhance the recombination of pleasurable memorial experiences of the heritage
attraction and sell the site services. (Park, 2014; Renbarger, n.d.; The Manitoba Electrical Museum & Education Centre, 2014) Sunday, 31 March, 2019
