What was the impact of the project at the local and national level in your country? Please provide qualitative and quantitative indicators.

This project has had a profound impact on our culture, as it has facilitated the transmission of traditional knowledge and practices to future generations in a more accessible and enduring way. By learning to digitize and preserve ritual recipes, we are ensuring that these cherished traditions are not lost over time and can continue to be shared and enjoyed by people all over the world.
One of the most significant advantages of digitizing recipes is that it allows us to store them in digital formats such as video, audio, text, or images that can be easily accessed and consulted. Unlike traditional paper-based recipes, digital recipes are less likely to get lost or damaged, and can be easily shared and distributed across various platforms and devices. This means that recipes can be preserved for a longer time and can be accessed by a wider audience.
Moreover, digitization also enables us to translate recipes into different languages, which can help to promote cultural exchange and understanding. By making recipes available in different languages, we can share our traditions with people from different cultures and regions of the world, and promote greater appreciation and respect for cultural diversity.
Preserving ritual recipes is particularly important because many of these traditions are passed down orally from one generation to the next, and can be easily lost if not documented in some way. Digitization allows us to capture and preserve these recipes, ensuring that they are not forgotten and can continue to be passed on to future generations.
In summary, the digitization and preservation of ritual recipes is vital for the preservation of our cultural heritage, as it allows us to safeguard our traditions and share them with a wider audience. By embracing digital technologies, we can ensure that these cherished traditions are not lost over time and can continue to inspire and enrich the lives of people all over the world.
