Cultural preservation requires collaboration between various stakeholders—local governments, academic institutions, and the communities themselves. In this post, we discuss how fostering partnerships among these groups strengthens efforts to preserve Traditional Knowledge Systems (TKS) in Panay, Guimaras, and Negros Occidental.

By working together, these entities can pool resources, knowledge, and expertise to ensure that the cultural mapping process is comprehensive and respectful of the local communities. This post will provide examples of successful collaborations, demonstrating the power of partnership in preserving and promoting cultural heritage.

Through these efforts, we create a sustainable model for cultural preservation that not only protects the heritage of today but also ensures that future generations can access and appreciate their cultural roots. The collaborative approach also builds bridges between different sectors, fostering a shared responsibility for cultural stewardship.
