# Objectives and Goals for Cultural Preservation and Education

**Cultural Preservation:** At its core, TatakJuan aims to protect and perpetuate the Philippine cultural legacy by digitizing and curating a vast array of cultural and historical treasures. From ancient crafts and legendary folklore to monumental historical events, the project ensures that these invaluable cultural expressions are preserved against the threats of time and modernization.

**Public Education and Engagement:** TatakJuan transcends mere preservation, aspiring to educate and engage the public in the rich tapestry of Filipino heritage. Through interactive NFTs and accompanying educational materials, the project invites global and local audiences to explore and understand the depth of Philippine culture, fostering a sense of pride and belonging among Filipinos and cultivating appreciation among international audiences.

**Sustainable Cultural Financing:** Recognizing the challenges of cultural preservation funding, TatakJuan leverages NFT technology not only as a preservation tool but also as a means to generate resources for ongoing cultural projects. By allocating a portion of NFT sales proceeds to support cultural preservation efforts, the project establishes a sustainable model for financing the protection and promotion of Philippine heritage.
