The 5th Intangible Cultural Heritage Meeting was held on September 5th, at the Casa do Povo in Camacha, Madeira, under the theme "The Wicker Work in Dialogue: Between Safeguarding and Contemporaneity". The event brought together researchers, artists, and craftsmen to reflect on the preservation and enhancement of this artisanal activity historically linked to Camacha since the 19th century, which had significant weight in the local economy but today faces challenges due to the reduction in the number of craftsmen. The program included presentations on the valorization of the wicker sector in the Region, the documentation work of the Wicker Work, and a visit to the workshop of craftsman José Pedro Gouveia. The initiative was promoted by the Regional Secretariat for Tourism, Environment and Culture, with support from the Parish Council and the Casa do Povo of Camacha.
