Strengthening the spirit of community

Community development projects have been integral to our journey so far as an organization. They are essential for strengthening the spirit of community between locals and for the enhancement of the local tangible and intangible heritage.

In the past, the communities of Transylvania lived in neighbourhoods that, based on written rules, constructed and maintained the buildings together as a community through shared activity: fortified churches, houses, huts, bridges, pavements, but also the maintenance of pastures, field fountains and forests. For example, in Viscri we found a set of laws written in 1643 and it was according to them that the life and tasks of the community was organized.

Through the implementation by MET, in the last 24 years, of 280 projects in this field, we tried to support the local authorities in preserving the communal built heritage which is shared in these areas and which has reached an advanced state of degradation.
