The project started in the first quarter of 2010, with the elaboration of a preliminary list of elements of the intangible cultural heritage to be inventoried, the design of an inventory template form and the establishment in April 2010 of a working committee to serve as an advisory body for the project. The field work, initially planned in four islands (Mahé, Praslin, La Digue and Silhouette) was finally conducted only in the Island of Mahé. A short period of five days of field work was also carried out in Parslin Island.

At the end of the project, data collected during the field work had been compiled, while the final document to be published needed to be further completed and validated by the working committee of the project.
