In 1968 our institute operated under the name Folk Works House and it obtained its present name, that of Covasna County Cultural Center in 2002 as a result of the renaming performed by its maintainer, the Covasna County Council.
We take part in the research, documentation and popularization of the cultural values, cultural events, traditions and popular customs of Háromszék (“Three Chairs”).
From foundation until today, we consider the treatment the youth as a featured target group our primary obligation. Besides this, we deal with the continuing professional training of those who work in the different fields of culture.
Recognizing the fact that regarding the historical and cultural identity formation of our community the informational-cultural circulation is essential, we support with great enthusiasm the community building activity of amateur groups, individuals who work in the field of community culture, as well as the cultural dialogue between them.
Roaming in Three Chairs
Recommendation
The
research and presentation of Three Chairs’ history, built heritage,
traditions and natural treasures is connected mainly to Balázs Orbán.
This
book addresses to those who are interested in our region, to the
inhabitants of Three Chairs as well as to those who do not live in Three
Chairs. It might be helpful for those who intend to enrich their local
historical knowledge or wish to familiarize themselves with the
hospitality and attractive landscape of this region.
I hope
that this book, which was published for the World Meeting of the
Hungarians of Three Chairs strengthens our belief according to which we
will be able to assume, as Balázs Orbán declares “that glorious and
sublime role that the Hungarian nation played in the history of Europe.”
