Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The National Folklore Board under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture will organise a multi-national summit to commemorate this year\u2019s World Folklore Day on August 22, 2022, at the National Theatre.<\/p>\n

The summit, with participants from Kenya, Togo, Namibia, Gambia and Ghana, is expected to rekindle the interest of the African youth in folklore. The Day will be commemorated under the theme: \u201cIgniting the Interest of African Youth in Folklore for Sustainable Development,\u201d and will be launched by Dr. Ibrahim Mohammed Awal, Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture.<\/p>\n

The National Folklore Board, in a press release copied to the Ghana News Agency, entreated the citizenry to participate in the celebration through the use of Ghanaian folklore, Ghanaian meals and drinks, highlife music or folk songs, traditional wears, and local languages.<\/p>\n

Folklore or intangible culture heritage refers to ways of expressing one\u2019s culture, including music, dance, art, designs, names, symbols and signs, performances, ceremonies, architectural forms, handicrafts and narratives, languages or any artistic cultural expressions.<\/p>\n

The National Folklore Board is the statutory agency in Ghana responsible for the administration, registration, promotion, and protection of Ghana\u2019s folklore.<\/p>\n

World Folklore Day is celebrated on August 22 every year around the world; on this day, nationals are reminded of the essence to promote and protect traditional elements of folklore, which belong to their countries.<\/p>\n
