Throughout 2018, that was declared a [[European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018|European Year of Cultural Heritage]] (EYCH), diverse cultural heritage across Europe was celebrated at the European, national, regional and local level. Under the slogan "Our heritage: where the past meets the future" thousands of activities took place across Europe to involve people more closely with cultural heritage.

The [[Ministry of Culture]] of the Republic of Slovenia has actively taken part, in collaboration with the [[Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia]].

==Cultural heritage in various forms==

The European Commission highlights the diversity of cultural heritage that comes in many shapes and forms: 
*'''tangible heritage''' (buildings, monuments, artefacts, clothing, artwork, books, machines, historic towns, archaeological sites); 
*[[:Category:Intangible heritage|intangible heritage]] (practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills, also languages and oral traditions, performing arts, social practices and traditional craftsmanship); 
*'''natural heritage''' (landscapes, flora and fauna);
* '''digital heritage''' (resources such as digital art or animation, also digitalised texts, images, videos, and other records).

== The EYCH 2018 programme in Slovenia ==

The European Year of Cultural Heritage cultural events were launched on 3 December 2017 with ''This Merry Day of Culture'' events. In April 2018 the [[Cultural Bazaar]], an annual event that stimulates arts & cultural education was focused on cultural heritage. The Republic of Slovenia proposed the proclamation of World Bee Day to the United Nations, and on 20 May 2018 the first the World Bee Day was celebrated in Slovenia and worldwide. 

The European Cultural Heritage Days and the Cultural Heritage Week took place in September 2018, organised by the [[Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of Slovenia]]. After the EYCH wrap-up events around ''This Merry Day of Culture'' on 3 December 2018, the National Conference on Arts and Culture Education in Cultural Heritage is organised in Ljubljana.
