UNESCO defines the intangible culture as 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.

The safeguarding of the intangible culture in Slovenia is based on the UNESCO Convention (2003) and the law on natural and cultural heritage (2008). It has been coordinated by Institute of Slovene Ethnology.
