The government should put more effort into promoting the city’s intangible cultural heritage amongst young people, the Macau General Union of Neighbourhood Associations’ Cultural and Recreational Committee Director Ian Heng Wa said yesterday.
The association is commonly known as Kai Fong.
The union hosted a press conference to release the results of a survey on young residents’ knowledge of the city’s intangible cultural heritage. Conducted on August 27 and September 3, the survey targeted senior high school pupils. A total of 897 valid questionnaires were collected.
