| Popis: | Traditional culture and values are the axiological foundation of states. Folk culture and folklore can be considered the cornerstone of national heritage. This article analyses the actions taken by UNESCO which contributed to the crystallisation of a multilateral international agreement that, for the first time in history, covered the conservation of intangible cultural heritage. The article’s main research hypothesis is the statement that cultural heritage is an axiological mirror of civilisation, as well as the basis for the existence and development of society. This is connected with a more detailed thesis that the intangible manifestations of culture are the source of living heritage of humanity and carriers of values. Since cultural heritage encompasses manifestations of various cultures’ activities and creativity, the comparative method was also used. The research findings show that supporting cultural diversity plays an important role in building interpersonal solidarity in the spirit of dialogue, mutual trust and cooperation. Respect for intangible cultural heritage is a guarantee of peace and security internally and from an international perspective. |
