In this episode Fran\\xe7ois Matarasso reads a revised text of a speech given at the International Congress on Intangible Heritage Policy, at Willibrordhaege, Deurne, The Netherlands, on 16 February 2012. In this he discusses the differences between folk culture and heritage, and the relationships that both of these have to the concepts and practices of art.

He moves on to look at intangible heritage: what UNESCO has described as \\u201coral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, and cultural knowledge\\u201d. He looks at how this vast field might be safeguarded and developed, ans what we would need to do that.
