This paper focuses on the Kras/Carso Food Tour to present the challenges of developing a luxury tourism product. The tour's design followed the current strategy of the Slovenian Tourist Board, which ...defines specific criteria for a luxury experience. Contextualized by the experiential trends in tourism, the paper juxtaposes the bottom-up and top-down perspectives on luxury experiences. The authors argue that mediation by experts familiar with academic discourses and local culture is beneficial for the development of a successful tourism product. The study contributes to the debates on luxury tourism, which have neglected bottom-up perceptions in tourist discourse and overlooked the dilemmas people face when "luxurifying" their traditions and heritage practices.

This paper analyses approaches to involving young people in the processes of valuation, interpretation and utilization of local heritage to meet contemporary development challenges. The starting ...point is the finding that European development strategies highlight the various potentials of cultural heritage, but young people from western Slovenia hardly see any of these potentials. Moreover, the presented ethnographic research results show that young people are not very interested in heritage practices undertaken in their cities or villages. This paper’s results demonstrate how heritage may be introduced to young generations, how youth understand local heritage and its values, and what they think about voluntary activities in cultural fields.
Activities relating to the discovery of local history, revival of rituals, and modification of traditional knowledge that are undertaken in local communities or associations have placed the ...reflection on the role and significance of heritage practices in contemporary society under scrutiny. We are becoming increasingly aware that heritage activities play an important role in the development of an innovative local economy, a creative community, and the achievement of sustainable development, but this is something that the local community must recognize. The purpose of this article is to describe the informal ways of raising awareness on the development potential of heritage activities and their uses for a higher quality of life through an analysis of the operation of associations in Slovenia that are involved in modifying traditional knowledge to create new products.
Throughout historical periods, people have developed various practices for the comprehensive use of natural resources that can be utilized to meet the requirements of contemporary sustainable living. ...This traditional knowledge and the ways of life of ancestors are recognized as cultural heritage, which has become a driving force towards achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in accordance with the cultural and heritage strategies and conventions of the UNESCO. However, to integrate them meaningfully into future landscape development, many challenges must be addressed by different actors (experts, researchers, decision makers, civil society, etc.). The aim of this article is to critically reflect on the concept of using cultural heritage practices for community development through the presentation and analysis of case studies on the participatory management of the UNESCO Karst Biosphere Reserve (and Reka River Basin) of the Škocjan Caves Park Public Service Agency in Slovenia (Europe). The article first addresses theoretical issues related to understanding cultural heritage as an important element of the enhancement of the sustainable development. It then presents active work in the Škocjan Caves Park Public Service Agency with stakeholders and two case studies that show how local karst heritage can be used to address biodiversity loss, drinking water scarcity, and global warming. In the conclusion some steps towards designing activities aimed to address sustainable development goals based on cultural heritage and participatory approaches are proposed.
Delo, ki je nastalo v Evropskem združenju raziskovalcev izobraževanja odraslih, prikazuje skupnostno izobraževanje s treh zornih kotov, čemur sledi tudi razvrstitev besedil v tri sklope. V prvem so ...razmisleki o učenju in izobraževanju glede na naslednje koncepte: vseživljenjskost učenja, demokratičnost, refleksivnost, političnost; v drugem sklopu so tematizirani izbrani procesi ali ciljne skupine, kot so mlajši odrasli, izobraževalci, migranti; v tretjem sklopu pa so zbrani prispevki o učenju v družbenih gibanjih, ki implicirajo socialne spremembe v povezavi z emancipatornimi skupnostnimi procesi, okoljskimi gibanji, delitvijo moči. Izziv je v dialogu, oblikovanju skupnosti in transformacijah (transformativnem učenju). Avtorji in avtorice, ki prihajajo iz različnih geografskih okolij (Belgija, Škotska, Švica, Poljska, Španija, Portugalska, Mehika, Kanada), zagovarjajo vključenost ljudi v transformativno učenje, razmislek o re-lokaciji družbenega učenja kot demokratične prakse in s tem povezano participatorno akcijsko raziskovanje. V uvodu se uredniki sklicujejo na razmišljanja K. Geertza (The Interpretation of Cultures) o razmerju med kulturnimi dejavniki in socialno strukturo, ki niso le odsev drug drugega, temveč so spodbuda za razvoj.
Cultural practices of exploring, revitalizing, interpreting and developing cultural heritage have become an important driving force in alleviating the social, cultural, environmental and economic ...challenges of today's world and in initiating sustainable progress in local communities. The interpretation of cultural uniqueness is not only in the hands of professionals from heritage institutions or research centres, but also in the hands of local residents, who are recognized as heritage bearers, cultural activists, practitioners and transmitters of heritage to the younger generations. The main objective of the model is to describe steps to achieve community involvement in cultural heritage projects and guidelines for carrying out the valorisation process with the active participation of the local population. The model outlines interesting and instructive case studies of how different interactive and “soft” methods can be used to build communities by following both top-down and bottom-up approaches. In addition, presented practices also show how to convince the younger generation that local heritage offers many opportunities to put bold ideas into practice.
Prostovoljno delo v okviru društev lahko veliko pripomore k razvoju vključujoče družbe, uravnoteženemu razvoju in prenosu znanj. To so tudi glavna izhodišča Strategije kulturne dediščine 2020-2023, ...kjer se pri celostnem ohranjanju med drugim poseben pomen namenja vključevanju skupnostnih praks. Članek na primeru delovanja Društva Debela griža s Krasa in vključevanju zasebnika pri upravljanju tamkajšnjega prazgodovinskega gradišča predstavlja razkorak pri implementaciji celostnih pristopov v prakso. Ta se med drugim kaže pri negiranju dosežkov izvedenih v okviru prostovoljnega dela.
In this article, we present findings on the characteristics of community of practice appearing in sustainable education in reference to preserving natural and cultural heritage. Our research ...originated in the poststructuralist theory of practice and in concepts of social learning. Freire’s learning theory was the basis for establishing the thesis that critical awareness is necessary for sustainable innovation. The empirical section of our research is based on an ethnographical collection of data in three different environments. We analysed cases of connected learning and activities, based both in local community and participants’ needs. All three cases join learning with innovative practices that develop social and environmental well-being. Our results reveal that innovative practices develop in connection with transformative learning: the dialogical linking of scientific and local behaviour and the identity of participants.

Stories, memories, relationships, traditional skills, dialects, and other tangible and intangible elements of cultural heritage provide opportunities and ways that can lead to compassionate, quality, ...authentic, and sustainable living in the present and in the future. The preservation and interpretation of unique cultural and natural artefacts from the past is not only in the hands of professionals from heritage institutions and research centres, but also in the hands of civil society of which children and youth are its integral part. Local people have become important participants in co-creating heritage, yet young people are still often not understood as equal bearers of culture or co-creators of heritage. How should we act to make youth’s bold ideas heard and realised in heritage projects and activities? The handbook ('Heritage in action: Ways and opportunities of integrating heritage practices into educational programs') presents approaches, methods, techniques, and examples of good practice that can address children and young people to actively participate in the exploration and interpretation of the past and (re)creation of cultural heritage in their local community. It is intended for the educators in kindergartens, schools, universities, youth centers, and local associations who want to encourage the younger generations to a deeper understanding of their ancestors’ lives.
V tem kontekstu so se raziskave lotili tudi na Ljudski univerzi Tržič, kjer v sklopu študijskega krožka od septembra 2016 raziskujejo stare tržiške jedi z namenom, kot pojasni nekdanja direktorica ...Ljudske univerze Tržič Metka Knific Zaletelj, ?da bi kulinarično dediščino, iz katere se je razvila naša današnja prehrana, bolje spoznali in poiskali jedi, ki so jih radi in pogosto jedli naši predniki? (str. 7). Pomemben doprinos knjige je njen zgodovinski del, ki na kratko pojasni, kdaj so določeni pridelki, kot so ajda, koruza, proso, krompir idr. prišli v slovenski prostor, od kod izvirajo določena imena jedi (prim. štruklji, močnik, grenadirmaš, cesarski praženec idr.) ter kakšno vlogo so imeli pridelki ali jedi v zgodovini Slovencev. Knjiga tako na 104 straneh prinaša pomembno interpretacijo kulinarične dediščine med tradicijo in inovacijo v Tržiču in mirno lahko trdimo, da je nepogrešljiv vir za vsakogar, ki ga zanimajo zgodovina, kulinarika ali načini ustvarjalnega dela, temelječega na zgodovini in tradiciji določenega okolja.
