2-Minute Revision

Religious festivals combine sacred meaning with artistic and social relationships. They should be studied through named practices and their calendars, with attention to variation. Intangible-heritage recognition concerns a living element and does not certify each physical venue. Safeguarding needs continuing skills and community agency; inclusion needs practical access across the visitor experience.

5-Minute Revision

Then explain why attendance and a single ramp are insufficient measures of inclusive participation. Keep proposed actions separate from evidence of completed work.
