In combined online and offline training, more offline practice and case collection and sharing were conducted, which increased interaction between trainers and trainees and among trainees. For example, the Workshop on Capacity Building for ICH Safeguarding for the Youth guided young trainees from China, Japan, South Korea and Mongolia to complete 50 short videos on local intangible cultural heritage during a two-week offline practice period. During the Workshop on Capacity Building for ICH Safeguarding for the Youth and Digital Technology for Laos, trainees were divided into five groups to discuss traditional Lao pottery-making techniques and basketry weaving skills, Luang Prabang language recitation, letter system inheritance and development and other issues. The Capacity Building Workshop for Training of Trainers on ICH Safeguarding for the Philippines introduced five intangible cultural heritage elements in the country as samples, including the ritual of Padásal, the handloom weaving technique, and the Pagrara and Paghabol weaving techniques, designing ICH safeguarding plans and developing ICH-related policies.

The Governing Board fully recognizes CRIHAP's exploration of innovative work methods and its achievements in the past year. They believe CRIHAP has overcome difficulties, persisted in conducting training primarily online and carried out activities in the field of ICH safeguarding in the Asia-Pacific region, enhancing ICH safeguarding in the region and globally.

Wang Yongjian pointed out that since its establishment 10 years ago, CRIHAP has actively cooperated with UNESCO in carrying out various tasks under the framework of the Convention and has achieved positive results recognized by UNESCO headquarters, its Asia-Pacific offices and member states in the Asia-Pacific region. On behalf of the board, Wang Yongjian expressed gratitude to the guidance from UNESCO headquarters and its Beijing office, the advice of the Advisory Committee members and the support of all parties towards CRIHAP.
