Education and co-creation as a basis for the transmission of culture, intangible heritage and the projection of identity

Abstract

This paper critically analyzes an exemplary international model of social entrepreneurship, based on the use of ancestral cultural heritage for the production of goods for the tourism market: Artisans D'angkor, Cambodia. The intention is to understand and theoretically rethink the constitution of the logic of product elaboration in complex scenarios, where identity and manufacturing have a preponderant role. The essay will focus on two key aspects: 

1. Production or reproduction of patrimonial objects with legitimate heritage character by groups that are external to the specific cultural origin. 

1. The participation of local communities to strengthen identities in a globalized environment.
