What Are Our Chapters?

Our chapters are the foundation of our mission to safeguard and promote intangible cultural heritage through fair trade. Spread across various regions, each chapter serves as a local hub dedicated to protecting and celebrating cultural practices, while empowering artisans and heritage bearers.

Each chapter acts as a bridge between cultural communities and the global audience. By providing support through training, fair trade initiatives, and cultural events, our chapters ensure that artisans and cultural practitioners have the resources they need to thrive. Tailored to the unique traditions and needs of their local communities, our chapters create meaningful impact and foster a greater appreciation for the richness of global culture.
