This project was approved by the British Council and is funded by the Cultural Protection Fund through support from the UK Government Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS).  This project focuses on intangible heritage craft practices in the Socotra Archipelago.  The project has documented a range of practices and has also highlighted that some are being practised by the last few artisans of their generation.  Without immediate documentation and active conservation, these traditions will be lost forever.  The intangible heritage of Socotra provides a link between traditional lifestyles and the environment, which it manages and relies upon, coupled with the evolution of language and traditions associated with the heritage directly.  The project aims to identify traditional crafts with potential contemporary markets, expand documentation to poorly known practices, and expand existing documentation into developing awareness, marketing, and training materials. Furthermore, it seeks to create a business environment that will conserve traditional crafts and enable economic benefits to artisans and their communities.
