Folk literature is a cultural heritage which should be upheld across the world. Let's discuss how we can uphold and value folk literature.
Folk literature can be upheld by regular and/or periodic commemorative interplay. If possible, put pieces of folk literature into documents, and taught to the next generation. Folk literature is symbolic of the aesthetics of literature.
We should collect and publish it, celebrate this cultural heritage in public events. We need to preserve this treasure, to pass it on the next generation because it is part of our culture.
There must first be a valuing of it by the population, including the “folk” themselves, local educational institutions, government agencies, and, of course, local or other publishers. It must be seen as the creative art and literature it is, not merely some “oldtime” lore. In many societies which were colonized, the indigenous and “local” were devalued by the colonized as well as the colonizer, and such an orientation must be changed for local and folk arts to gain appreciation.
Folktales can be used to help children develop strong reading skills, study other cultures, model positive character traits, and discover a love of stories. Our collection of folktales was developed to immerse children in timeless stories.
Folk literature can be introduced to the school curriculum so that small children can be aware of the cultural heritage. Frequent staging, television serials, advertisements, cartoons,stickers based on the folk characters can also preserve them.

Thank you very much for your participation in the discussion with your explanation. I agree with your comment.
Joseph Peter Yaw-Kan Thank you for your response. I agree with you. We can document folk literature and spread its fragrance among next generations.
Exactly, Neema Ghenim . A few days ago on 7-8 January 2022, Baul Rashid Ceremony was arranged beside our university campus. Baul songs of Rashid Uddin were sung and celebrated by different devotees and singers. This is a way of celebrating cultural heritage. Institute of Folk Literature and Culture is another way of upholding cultural heritage. I think there are many ways of appreciating and upholding cultural heritage.
Thank you, Judith Roback for your comment. Locals, specially the devotees of folk literature try to raise their voice but sometimes they are intentionally unheard. In such case, researchers and policy makers should come forward, I think.
I highly appreciate your opinion.
I highly appreciate your comment, dear Wafaa Zwaid . Folk songs and tales are great source of inspiration and our cultural root. We can follow your suggestion. Thank you again for your suggestion.
Exactly, dear Salma Haque . For a couple of years, folk literature is given importance in media and advertisement though they deserve much more concentration. I totally agree with your comment about including folk literature in education curriculum. Thank you for your suggestion.
There are factors which might complicate any approach to this subject: In a heterogeneous/multicultural society, any policies should support and promote the cultural heritage of each constituent culture equitably, not emphasizing or privileging the oral and other traditions of one group
. A government led predominantly by members of just one of the ethnic/racial groups can too easily use “culture” for nationalistic purposes.
There is a natural preservation of folk literature and cultural heritage through re-creation and replication of past creative experiences but it should be consolidated with economic growth, entertainment transmission (theatre, TV, radio...) to help the marketing aspect of cultural heritage ensure its maintenance.
The supreme goal of folk literature is to give a true picture of the social process, and to go along with the instinct more than the official literature. , each individual feels that he is his personal subject that concerns him alone, or that concerns him before anyone else. for more see :

I am of the view that we can uphold folk literature by sustaining the key cultural elements through adaptations of other literary works. The valuation becomes essential when we weave traditional elements of one folk literature of a culture to the other, which promises to be a networked appreciation. My thoughts 💭.
