storytelling and singing; traditional dances and games; local gastronomy.
2. The vocal group “Comorile din Șerbești” (The Treasures of Șerbești) – participates in themed folklore shows, festivals, and competitions; organizes traditional craft workshops for children and young people; collaborates with folk artisans.
3. Project “The Place Where Dreams Come True” – a free initiative for children , supporting their musical talent and providing a space where their artistic dreams can be nurtured.
The project aims to provide free access to cultural and musical education for children from rural communities. It creates a safe and supportive space where children can discover and develop their artistic talents. Through workshops, music lessons, and creative cultural activities, the initiative encourages children to actively participate in preserving local traditions while nurturing their personal growth and self-confidence.
The project addresses the lack of cultural opportunities for children in rural areas and seeks to ensure both community development and cultural continuity. To achieve sustainability, it relies on financial and logistical support from partners, donors, and community involvement.
