The Márta Fügedi Folk Art Association

... organized a project from 20 to 26 March 2017 with title: Save the Old Peoples Small Crafts in the Countries of Visegrad. The one week event was organized for several months. The program was split into two parts. In one part, for five days, we presented for schoolchildrens in organized form the folk craftsmanship of our region. The school groups spent two hours in our Creative House during that time. They got to know 7-8 crafts. During the course of the work, the master demonstrated the work processes and tasks of his craft. In this time ethnographic knowledge is transferred to young peoples. The crafts was tried by the students. One day we could generally accept 4 groups and introduce them to project elements. The groups consisted of 10 to 12 people. Thus, we have 40 to 45 young people a day, and we are accommodating 200 schoolchildren together with their teachers. (...)
