CROSSES OF SHEAVES

Collection from the Common depository of the sustainable Carpathian Basin


INTRODUCTION:

News about the state of our environment is emerging more and more frequently nowadays, and we take them in with increasing apathy. We do so in spite of the fact that in the past few years, we have not just read or heard about, but also witnessed grim portents manifest themselves in our daily lives: droughts, torrential rains, increasing food prices, the struggle for the remaining resources and the resulting wars.

In this collection, we present promising solutions and encouraging experiments from across the Carpathian Basin: from intellectuals who are descendants of countrymen ultimately returning to their ancestors' way of life, to agricultural innovators and successful communities. In the case of each of them, we can say that behind their success is a recognition of the values of our created world, and that their every action, thought and intention points to its Creator.

Objectives:

To collect all those communities, good practices, innovations in the Carpathian Basin, which are organised along the points of rural - sustainability - common values (faith). Furthermore, the development, expansion and professional support of a few communities selected on the basis of appropriate criteria.

Finally, to summarise the experiences in a practical/understandable and scientific way through multimedia and written content, as well as through scientific discussions, involving renowned foreign and Hungarian experts.

Achievements to date:

We have compiled and scheduled for visits / filming the filming locations (15) known to the members of the research team and selected on the basis of the criteria set out in the objectives, of which 5 locations have been filmed so far, one location has been fully documented and others are close to the same.
