Letter of Support Verbond der Jaartallen (Alliance of Age Sets)

The Leuven Age Set Ritual Repertoire



The Alliance of Age Sets wishes to extend its full support to The Leuven Age Set Ritual Repertoire.

Being the overall organisation that unites, organises and controls all the Age Sets and oversees the

ritual repertoire, it is a real honour and opportunity to help and make the Leuven Age Sets more widely

known. Together with the city of Leuven and several local and global (cultural) partners, the Alliance

stimulates and encourages the different Age Sets to take active part in today's social and cultural life,

to create innovating contemporary activities, without losing their specific rituals and values, and to

invest in new partnerships. Thus, the Alliance and the Age Sets all together contribute to the global

discussion on intangible cultural heritage.
