Culture of a community is cherished and passed down to the next generations as one of its most valuable treasures. The task of preserving and nurturing our cultural heritage should be taken very seriously because of the importance it carries, and, as such, should be transferred on as best as possible to the next carriers - the children. The aim of this thesis is to show the process of passing down cultural heritage through various projects and activities within the frame of working with the younger children, specifically pre-schoolers. This was done by analysing famous event sin Buzet such as Subotina in an old fashioned way applied to children, by working on different projects in the kindergarten „Grdelin“ in Buzet, and also by being involved in a project called Institutionalisation of homeland teaching which was initiated by Istria County. This whole research showed that the city of Buzet is extremely rich in cultural heritage, and that this heritage is presented to children is such a way so that it never perishes and stops carrying on the values that our predecessors left us. KEY WORDS: culture, oral heritage, Buzet, preschool, teaching homeland.
