ICH Masters

Global Cultural Civilization Operating System

ichmasters connects heritage practitioners, cultural cities, and institutions through AI-powered matching, certified trust, and a living marketplace for cultural exchange — aligned with Culture Masters’ mission for living heritage and peace.

Why ICH Masters

Preserving cultural heritage through innovative technology

Built as the global operating layer for intangible cultural heritage, ichmasters brings together certification, education, marketplace activity, and peace-oriented recovery programmes in one coherent ecosystem — the same pillars that anchor Culture Masters’ WIN initiative, CM School, and Arirang Culture Connect.

Practitioners gain a trusted global address for their craft; cities and institutions discover verified programmes; audiences experience music, dance, crafts, storytelling, and more through transparent, certified pathways.

Trust layer

Certification is how culture earns trust

The ichmasters Trust Layer frames certification as verified quality, authenticity, and eligibility for global opportunities — from foundation access to professional ICH credentials and the Arirang Master Award for outstanding transmission and artistry.

  • Foundation — community entry and programme listing
  • ICH Professional — festivals, education, and heritage events
  • Arirang Master Award — international recognition for masters of living heritage

“Culture heals what conflict breaks.” Peace and resilience labs use heritage as practical infrastructure for dialogue, youth transmission, and diaspora reconnection.
