Intangible Cultural Heritage

Intangible cultural heritage or living heritage means knowledge, skills, traditions and customs passed from generation to generation that communities follow and revere even now.

Intangible cultural heritage provides communities with an identity and the feeling of continuity, thus promoting cultural diversity and creative activity.

Intangible cultural heritage can be unique, such as Seto leelo or regional dialect, or common, such as berry picking or celebrating Midsummer.

An active and robust community is the prerequisite for the continuity of intangible cultural heritage.
