UNESCO: List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding - 2022

Description: Chăm pottery products are mainly household utensils and religious and fine art objects made by women. The knowledge and skills they require are transmitted within families, and the practice is a source of income and a means of safeguarding the customs of Chăm people in Viet Nam. However, despite safeguarding efforts, the viability of the craft is at risk due to the impact of urbanization on access to raw materials, insufficient adaptation to the market economy and lack of interest among youth.
