Institute ID20 and the partners of the Smer: Cultural Heritage project invite you to participate in the national public opinion survey, the Heritage Barometer 2025, which explores how the public today understands, experiences, and values cultural heritage.
We want to use the survey to gather feedback from the public on their perception of cultural heritage content, while also raising awareness of its importance for the quality of life of people in different life stages and environments.
Cultural heritage – an opportunity or an obstacle?
With the Heritage Barometer, we will discover what place cultural heritage has in the lives of people today. Your responses will help clarify whether people see it as an opportunity for community development, creativity, and sustainability, or as an obstacle and a burden from the past. The survey will also reveal which emotions are evoked by contact with heritage, how much trust, inspiration, joy, or perhaps discomfort it triggers, and how its perception changes. Is it becoming more important or losing value? You and many others, your collected data will contribute to understanding how people perceive heritage today.

The survey is anonymous. Thank you for your participation!
Your answers will help us outline new directions for work in the field of cultural heritage that will be more in touch with the interests and needs of various groups – from young to old, from the professional public to visitors.
Continuation of the 2020 research
The Heritage Barometer 2025 survey is based on the first survey conducted in 2020, when we researched the understanding and valuation of cultural heritage among young people, older residents, and employees of heritage institutions in the municipalities of Idrija and Cerkno as part of the Cultural Heritage as a Business Opportunity project.

This time, we are conducting a broader survey across the entire territory of Slovenia. The results will be compiled in a joint analytical report, which will serve as the basis for planning future activities and recommendations for heritage policy.
Join in and help shape the future of cultural heritage in Slovenia!
