In 1924, representatives of old Monegasque families founded the "Comité National des Traditions Monégasques" (National Committee of Monegasque Traditions), as part of efforts to preserve the country's national identity and culture.The Committee's missions are to:
- Preserve civil and religious traditions
- Preserve and promote the Monegasque language
- Preserve Monegasque heritage
Civil and religious traditions have been maintained. Although the Monegasque language is no longer in everyday use, it is still taught in the Principality's schools and can be studied as an optional subject for the high school baccalaureate. It is also taught to adults, as a way of encouraging families to speak the language in their day-to-day lives.
And the Committee is now committed to preserving other important aspects of Monegasque national identity. The country's material heritage is showcased at the Musée du Vieux Monaco or Museum of Old Monaco, while its language and culture are promoted via modern media including the internet.
