Culture is not a decoration on development; it is the memory, language and confidence from which development is imagined. IGN’s cultural programme protects what cannot be rebuilt once lost.
Why this programme exists
Language, oral tradition, craft and festival practice are fragile when families move and generations absorb new surroundings. This programme supports continuity without turning heritage into a museum piece.
Where the network focuses
- Igbo language learning and everyday use
- Oral history, memory and documentation
- Festival, music, craft and fashion practice
- Cultural exchange across the diaspora
How to engage
Cultural practitioners, teachers and community associations can share projects with the secretariat. Consent and attribution guide every cultural publication.
