Context before assumption

Explore with permission and a clear return

The Heritage gate supports careful questions around gathering phases, making, movement and meaningful objects while deferring to the actual host.

Festival Compass

Rotate through generic phases — Invite, Prepare, Welcome, Remember, Make, Share, Reflect and Return. The compass is not an official calendar and does not confirm an event.

Preparation, not scheduling

No date, venue booking, programme or association commitment is published.

A human checkpoint

At every phase, the actual host decides what is appropriate for the real context.

A visible return

The final phase returns objects, space and decisions to responsible people.

Making, sound and movement

Neutral room and materials prompts support supervised activities without presenting the app as formal Cambodian cultural or Buddhist religious instruction.

Making Table

Use stable surfaces, adult-handled tools, varied participation options and authorised patterns.

Sound & Movement

Check volume, sightlines, cables, seated alternatives and a shared pause cue.

Objects in Context

Ask who may handle, move, photograph, explain and return a meaningful object.

Courtesy is an active question

The app avoids a universal etiquette checklist. Arrival, shoes, personal belongings, photography, food, quiet areas and departure may depend on the real host and situation.

Ask before photographing

People, ceremonies, crafted objects and private areas may require specific permission.

Ask before naming

Do not infer an object's meaning, status or handling rule from its appearance.

Ask before teaching

A prompt can open conversation; it cannot authorise the user to teach a tradition.
