Abstract

In 2024, the cultural traditions of the Chazy/Hazy region have been inscribed on the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. These traditions include dialect, musical heritage, ritual customs, embroidery, and elements of the cultural landscape. Until recently, applying for this inscription would have been challenging due to the disintegration of the local community. However, thanks to the collective efforts of individuals involved in the development of the microregion and the support of the Museum of the Rawicz Land, preparing a successful application became possible. In this article, I present an analysis of initiatives undertaken by regionalists, cultural animators, leaders of regional ensembles, members of associations, and cultural institutions, all of whom aimed to integrate the local community and work collectively towards the inscription of these traditions on the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. As a resident of the Chazy/Hazy region and an activist for the preservation of traditional culture, I participated in the entire process, which allowed me to formulate significant conclusions.
