Intangible Cultural Heritage means the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills – as well as the instruments, objects, artefacts and cultural spaces associated therewith – that communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals recognize as part of their cultural heritage. This intangible cultural heritage, transmitted from generation to generation, is constantly recreated by communities and groups in response to their environment, their interaction with nature and their history, and provides them with a sense of identity and continuity, thus promoting respect for cultural diversity and human creativity.

According to Janez Bogataj, one of the greatest connoisseurs of Slovene heritage, the 'spiritual culture' comprises customs, beliefs, language, reading, fine arts from a functional perspective, music, dance, theatre, leisure, sources of knowledge, healing practices, the awareness of history and technical knowledge. Special issues in intangible heritage include indigenous ethnic groups and the heritage of Slovenes abroad.
