Since 2008, the Register of Living Cultural Heritage has been in development, with 42 elements entered by the end of August 2015—some of which have been declared masterpieces of national significance.

Through brief descriptions of the elements, drawn from the Register maintained by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia, this booklet aims to present elements of Slovenia’s intangible cultural heritage registered between 2008 and 2015, helping to raise awareness of its value. It also seeks to encourage heritage bearers to submit proposals for inclusion, as the Register is one of the key tools for identifying and preserving Slovenia’s intangible cultural heritage.
