Intangible Cultural Heritage of Ukraine

Intangible cultural heritage (Ukrainian: Нематеріальна культурна спадщина) are elements of the cultural heritage of Ukraine which are abstract and must be learned, encompassing traditional knowledge including festivals, music, performances, celebrations, handicrafts, and oral traditions.

Starting from 2013, five items are inscribed on the UNESCO registry of Ukraine's Intangible Cultural Heritage as of July 2022,^[1] and three items - Ukrainian pysanka, safeguarding of the kobzar-lirnyk tradition, and technology of white-on-white embroidery in Reshetylivka - were nominated in 2023.^[2]
