Theme :
Rites of Passage, a Journey to Adulthood

Throughout life, people of every culture and in every community pass over stepping stones that mark significant points in their lives. As they approach and move through these important points in life, they often go through certain rites of passage that inform the community of their development into adulthood. In this volume of the ICH Courier, we will look at rites of passage found in communities in Samoa, China, Myanmar, and Nepal.
