The formation and use of the cultural heritage and identity of local communities is a result of historical development and current opportunities and needs. Cultural heritage becomes a part of the cultural potential as a system. In Čajkov, the most representative village of the Slovak Chilejkar people, there is a system of using the established concept of local cultural heritage through cultural events (several of which are closely connected in terms of organisation and visitors) implemented by local human resources structured into local organisations and institutions, which are relatively diverse but have an internal logic. Some events have an old tradition; others originated and became “traditional” only a few years ago. The outlined system existing in a municipality with less than 1000 inhabitants reflects the degree of functioning of the local community. It is conditioned by cohesion, hierarchy, the self-confidence of members and appropriate economic conditions. For seniors, besides routine and tradition, the essential activating element is the social dimension – being socially active means meeting others, spending time with peers and eliminating loneliness. It is also an important identity creator in the socialisation, education and especially the upbringing of children and youth.

Chilejkars are one of the most famous ethnographic groups in Slovakia. The traditional symbols of Chilejkars identity are Slovak nationality, Catholic religion, a specific dialect within the Tekov dialect, women ś folk clothing, a sense of belonging, local patriotism and the relationship to land and property. The cultural heritage of village Čajkov is currently used to different extents and in different ways. Either almost unchanged, somewhat adapted, it exists in its natural environment, or modified, with entirely different functions and opportunities, or in practical life, it has completely disappeared and exists only latently.
