Welcome!
Mihai Eminescu Trust is dedicated to preserving the local heritage and reviving the villages and communes of Transylvania and Maramureș, two of the most historically and culturally rich areas in Europe. In short, our mission is to bring local communities in Romania back to life by preserving the cultural and natural heritage whilst encouraging multicultural integration and local economies.
We apply an integrated approach to sustainable development. It involves and empowers local actors, contributing both to the preservation of the authenticity of the heritage and to its harmonization with the needs of the community.
