Med pomembnimiprizadevanji sta tudi ohranjanjebogate lokalne in regionalne dediščineter njeno vključevanje vpodjetniški in turistični razvoj. Naobmočju je ogromno nepremičnedediščine, kot so domačije, gospodarskaposlopja, cerkve, kapelice,mlini in kozolci. Veliko pa je tudinesnovne ali žive dediščine, ki ji vsiskupaj ponavadi namenjamo premalopozornosti. Tudi zato, ker sene zavedamo, da jo imamo. Nemalokratnanjo postanemo ponosnišele takrat, ko nas nanjo opomniobiskovalec naših krajev.Predstavljanje, zapisovanje in ohranjanježive dediščine so izrednopomembna, predvsem za nosilcein drugo lokalno prebivalstvo, ki senemalokrat poistovetijo s tovrstnodediščino kraja. Šege in navade,verovanja, ustno izročilo, plesnadediščina, znanje o naravi, posebnotehnično in obrtniško znanje so torejkulturni kapital, ki se ga moramobolj zavedati in ga ceniti. Zapisati inprenesti ga moramo na prihodnjegeneracije.Pri izvajanju različnih projektov natemo dediščine se na terenu večkratsrečujemo z nosilci dediščine,predvsem obrtniki in rokodelci.Želijo si, da bi bilo njihovo delo boljcenjeno in spoštovano. Opozarjajo,da je zaradi našega odnosa cena zanjihove izdelke glede na vloženodelo in kakovost na trgu nemalokratprenizka. Tudi zato se zelo malomladih ljudi odloča za obrtniškipoklic. Z aktualnim projektom želimonosilcem dediščine pomagatipri sistematičnem trženju izdelkov,prepoznavanju podjetniške priložnostiin vključitvi v turistični razvoj.Verjamemo, da nam bo uspelo skupajz vami, ki se zavedate vrednostitovrstne dediščine.Sicer pa smo veseli, da imamo vSrcu <strong>Slovenije</strong> zelo aktivna različnadruštva, ki si prizadevajo ohranjatiin prenašati rokodelsko znanjeoziroma predstavljati dediščino. Nemaloje zelo angažiranih posameznikov,ki ves svoj prosti čas vložijo vorganizacijo rokodelskih delavnic,pripovedovanje ljudskega izročila,postavljanje razstav in zbiranje gradivao dediščini. Hvala vam.Skupaj s koordinatorji občin, nosilcidediščine in strokovnjaki etnologismo pripravili knjižico o le nekaterihod mnogih enot nesnovne dediščinev Srcu <strong>Slovenije</strong>. Toliko, da naglas povemo, za kakšno dediščinogre, in vas spodbudimo k razmišljanju.Prepričani smo, da se boste obprebiranju spomnili še na mnogodruge dediščine in ob tem nanjopostali še ponosnejši!Živa dediščina je v naših srcih in vseokoli nas. Prisluhnimo ji!Aleksandra Gradišek,direktorica Centra za razvoj LitijaFor several years, the DevelopmentCentre Litija in the area of the Heartof Slovenia has been cooperatingwith the municipalities who withvarious activities and projects supportrural development. Among importantendeavours are the preservation ofthe rich local and regional heritageand its inclusion in entrepreneurialactivities and tourist development.The area abounds in immovable heritagesuch as farms, estate buildings,churches, wayside shrines, mills andhayracks. There are plenty of intangibleor living heritages which we, all ofus, usually do not pay much attentionto. One of the reasons for the latter isthat we are not aware of having it.More often than not we begin takingpride in it only when a visitor to ourparts calls our attention to it.Presentation, writing down and preservationof living heritage are very importantparticularly for the bearers ofheritage and the rest of the local populationwho often identify themselveswith this type of heritage of the area.Manners and customs, beliefs, orallore, dance-related heritage, knowledgerelating to nature, particularlytechnical and craftsmen's knowledgeare therefore a cultural capital wehave to become more aware of andappreciate it more. We have to write itdown and transfer the knowledge onto future generations.In carrying out various projects withthe theme of heritage in the field weoften meet the bearers of heritage,mostly craftsmen and artisans. Theywish their work was more appreciatedand respected. They call ourattention to the fact that owing toour attitude, the price of their work inview of the work required and qualityin the market is quite often too low.This is also one of the reasons why sofew young people decide to take upcraftsmanship. The present projectis supposed to help the bearers ofheritage in the systematic marketingof their articles, identifying entrepreneurialopportunities and inclusion intourism development. We believe thattogether with you who are aware ofthe value of this type of heritage wewill be successful.However, we are glad that in theHeart of Slovenia there are variousvery active societies who undertakea sustained effort to preserve andtransfer artisan knowledge, to wit,represent the heritage. There are quitea few engaging individuals whospend all their free time organizingartisan workshops, spreading folktradition, setting up exhibitions andcollecting material relevant to heritage.Thank you all.Hand in hand with coordinators ofthe municipalities, bearers of heritageand expert ethnologists we have preparedthis booklet dealing with onlysome of the numerous units of intangibleheritage in the Heart of Slovenia.We want to say out loud what type ofheritage it is about and encourageyou to reflect. We are certain thatwhen reading this booklet you willremember all the other types of heritageand become even prouder of it!Living heritage is in our hearts and allaround us. Let's lend it our ears!Aleksandra Gradišek,Development Centre Litija Manager6
Živost nesnovnekulturnedediščineVividness ofintangible culturalheritageNematerialna, neopredmetena,živa, nesnovna ..., vse to so termini,ki po Unescovi Konvenciji o varovanjunesnovne kulturne dediščinepomenijo prakse, predstavitve,izraze, znanje, veščine in z njimipovezana orodja, predmete, izdelkein kulturne prostore, ki jih skupnosti,skupine in včasih tudi posameznikiprepoznavajo kot del svoje kulturnedediščine. Nesnovna dediščina jev primerjavi s snovno ravno zaradiživosti, ki jo potrjuje tudi terminologija,izjemna. Ves čas se spreminja,je odziv na svoje okolje, naravo inzgodovino, se prepleta z drugimisestavinami in se razvija.V Sloveniji od leta 2008 vodimonacionalni register t. i. žive kulturnedediščine, kamor so po presojistrokovne komisije koordinatorjavarstva žive kulturne dediščine (odleta 2011 je to Slovenski etnografskimuzej) vpisane enote dediščine, kiustrezajo merilom veljavnih dokumentov,kot sta Unescova Konvencijao varovanju nesnovne kulturnedediščine in slovenski Zakon ovarstvu kulturne dediščine. Želimosi, da bi čim več enot nesnovnekulturne dediščine iz območja Srce<strong>Slovenije</strong> dobilo svoje mesto tudi vregistru, ki je eno od središč prizadevanjza ohranjanje in varovanjedediščine. Ko govorimo in pišemoo nesnovni kulturni dediščini, pa nesmemo pozabiti na njeno neločljivopovezanost s premično in nepremično<strong>kulturno</strong> dediščino. Kajti lecelovita obravnava dediščine namomogoča celosten pogled na njenrazvoj, trenutno stanje in morebitnipotencial za prihodnost. Ne grespregledati dejstva, da so sestavinenesnovne kulturne dediščine lahkobogat vir za razvoj lokalnih, regionalnihin nacionalnih identitet.Ohranjanje nesnovne kulturnedediščine je vrednota, ki nas bogatiin spodbuja k odgovornemuravnanju z dediščino. Pri tem imajopomembno vlogo nosilci dediščine,pa naj bodo to skupine, skupnostiali posamezniki, ki skrbijo, da znanjein veščine, potrebne za njenodelovanje in ohranitev, posredujejonaslednjim generacijam. Nalogastrokovnjakov je predvsem spremljatiin dokumentirati nesnovno <strong>kulturno</strong>dediščino, ki s svojo živostjopovečuje že tako bogato <strong>kulturno</strong>raznolikost.Adela Pukl,Slovenski etnografski muzejNon-material, intangible, living…are technical terms which accordingto the UNESCO Convention for theSafeguarding of Intangible CulturalHeritage represent practices, presentations,expressions, knowledge, skillsand related tools, objects, articles andcultural premises which communities,groups and sometimes individualsidentify as part of their cultural heritage.Compared to the materialheritage, non-material heritage is exceptionalfor its very vividness whichis also confirmed by the terminology.It is changing and developing all thetime, it is a reaction to its environment,nature and history, it is intertwinedwith other componentsSince 2008, we have had in Slovenia anational register of the so-called livingcultural heritage. The register containsthe units of heritage which, accordingto the assessment of the professionalcommission of the coordinator of theprotection of living cultural heritage(since 2011, this role has been assumedby the Ethnographic Museum of Slovenia),correspond with the criteria ofoperative documents such as the UN-ESCO Convention for the Safeguardingof Intangible Cultural Heritageand the Slovenian Cultural HeritageProtection Act. We wish as many unitsof cultural heritage as possible fromthe area of the Heart of Slovenia gettheir place in the register which isone of the centres of the endeavoursfor the preservation and protectionof the heritage. When we speak andwrite about non-material culturalheritage we must not forget that it isinseparably linked with movable andimmovable cultural heritage. Sinceonly the heritage being dealt with inits complexity enables us a complexview of its development, current situationand eventual potential for thefuture. We must not overlook the factthat the components of non-materialheritage may be a rich resource for thedevelopment of local, regional andnational identitiesThe preservation of intangible heritageis a valuable feature whichmakes us rich and encourages us totreat our heritage with responsibility.In doing so, a critical role is playedby the bearers of heritage, i.e. communities,groups or individuals whosee to it that knowledge and skillsnecessary for its functioning and preservationare transferred to the nextgenerations. The task of the experts isprimarily to monitor and documentintangible heritage which – throughits vividness – increases the alreadyrich cultural diversity..Adela Pukl,Ethnographic Museum of Slovenia7
