Discovering Balin Pamana: A Learning Journey

Heritage is the history, culture, and traditions passed down through generations. It can be seen
in physical objects like buildings and artifacts or in customs, stories, and practices. Recently,
students went on a field trip to explore and learn about both tangible and intangible heritage.

During the trip, students discovered tangible heritage, such as old buildings, statues, and
historical objects. They took pictures of these items to document what they saw. For example,
they might have visited an ancient church, a museum, or a traditional marketplace, capturing the
beauty and importance of these places through their photos.

The students also explored intangible heritage, which includes traditions and practices. They
watched performances, listened to local stories, and tried traditional food. For example, they may
have seen a cultural dance, heard an elder tell a folktale, or tasted a dish made from an old family
recipe.

After the trip, the students created narrative reports with pictures to share what they had
learned. These reports showed how tangible and intangible heritage work together to represent a
community’s identity. Through this activity, they realized how important it is to protect and
preserve heritage for the future.

This field trip helped the students see the value of heritage in everyday life. It taught them to
respect and appreciate the history and culture around them, making the experience both fun and
educational.

Threats to Tangible and Intangible Heritage

Heritage is an important part of our history and culture. Tangible heritage includes physical
things like buildings and monuments, while intangible heritage includes traditions, music, and
languages. During our Balin Pamana, I saw some of the problems that threaten both types of
heritage.

One big threat to tangible heritage is environmental damage. I noticed how pollution and
weather changes are harming old buildings. For example, acid rain had worn away carvings, and
damp weather caused mold to grow on walls. Another problem is human activity, like careless
tourism and vandalism, which damages these historic places.

Intangible heritage is also at risk. Traditional songs, dances, and languages are disappearing
because fewer people are practicing them. Modern lifestyles and a lack of interest among the
younger generation make it harder to keep these traditions alive.

Protecting our heritage is important for future generations. We need to take care of our
historic places and encourage people to preserve their traditions and culture.
