REPRESENTATIVE LIST OF THE INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF SLOVAKIA

The Representative List is a listing of remarkable elements of the intangible cultural heritage of Slovakia. The inclusion in the Representative List is an acknowledgement of exceptional elements and practices accepted by societies and individuals that survive in accordance with the universally observed human rights principles, as well as the principles of equality, support and mutual respect among cultural communities.
These elements are in keeping with the environment and historical conditions of the communities and provide them with the sense of continuity and identity, thus supporting cultural diversity and creativity. The creation of the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Slovakia represents the fundamental step in compiling the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
