Schools of Living Traditions

Schools of Living Traditions (SLTs) are education institutions in the Philippines dedicated to indigenous arts, crafts and other traditions.

The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCAA) under Felipe M. de Leon, Jr. launched its program on SLTs in 1995.^[1]^[2]^[3] The NCAA supports SLTs as part of the UNESCO's mandate to preserve living traditions of the indigenous peoples. SLTs are community-managed centers of learning headed by cultural masters and specialists who teaches knowledge or skills on a particular art, craft and tradition to the youth. The conduct of teaching in SLTs is often "non-formal, oral and with practical demonstrations".^[4]^[5]
