The International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region under the auspices of UNESCO (ICHCAP) and International Centre for Water Security and Sustainable Management (i-WSSM) are pleased to invite you to be a tentative author of the 2022 Living Heritage Series, (tentatively) Water: Interconnectivity between the Intangible Cultural Heritage and Science.

The Living Heritage Series introduces regional and international activities committed to transmitting and safeguarding intangible cultural heritage (ICH). The series was designed to raise visibility and maintain and promote cultural diversity championed by UNESCO through publications on various forms and elements of ICH. This publication project was initially started in 2017 with the release of Traditional Medicine (collaboration with #HeritageAlive) followed by the next volumes, Tugging Rituals and Games (Dangjin City) and Traditional Food (#HeritageAlive), Martial Arts (ICM), and Traditional Musical Instruments (#HeritageAlive) in every year respectively. This year, ICHCAP in collaboration with i-WSSM is to publish a new book of the series themed on water. This is not only the result of C2Cs’ but also, more importantly, the intersectoral collaboration between the culture and the science.

Interconnectivity between culture and science centering on water might be somewhat vague: know but don’t know what or how exactly. Focusing on water security, it is not just a pursuing security as a resource, but a human security: life, health, and ecosystems. The objective of this volume is to expand the boundary or interface of water centering on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6, Clean Water and Sanitation. Through SDG6, how to achieve SDG11, Sustainable Cities and Communities, with intangible cultural heritage, how SDG6 and SDG2, Zero Hunger can be related, or how SDG17, Partnerships for the Goals, will be reflected to achieve SDG6 could be questioned in this book by discovering good practices and shared experiences. The volume aims to build new and strengthen scholar-field networks in the pursuit of humanity’s sustainable development.

The LHS organizers welcome the submission of articles by diverse stakeholders in the world. Submissions are accepted degree papers, case studies, research, or any other scholarly output involving the major theme. In case of published one, if it is not problematic in the legal sense, it is also acceptable. Interested individuals and/or experts should refer to the topic outlined in the next section.
