HOW CAN YOU
GET INVOLVED?

We are already doing a good job. We are always in need of a helping hand though. We are working in an environment with breathtaking landscapes and vibrant communities inhabited by the wellcoming people in villages of Transylvania. When you volunteer with us, you get full immersed into this unique experience. Together with other volunteers, they will live in a Transylvanian village, surrounded by beautiful nature and centuries-old traditions. 

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Cultfort – Urban Cultural Fortress is a project created and implemented by Mihai Eminescu Trust (MET). The main activity of this project is to prepare the Butchers’Tower & Bastion in the Citadel to become a venue for quality cultural events in Sighișoara. But we would also like to give you some more context: this place is right next to our office in Furriers’ Tower and it was a bit difficult for us to see its state of degradation and how it slowly becomes a ruin; so we found a way or we might better say 3 ways (3 grants) to restore it, to conserve it and to integrate it into the city life. The first grant came from the Horizon Foundation in the Netherlands for the technical project. Now, at the end of year 2022, conservation and restoration works sustained also by the Horizon Foundation with a second financing are under way; as we are talking about a monument built in the 16th century, we are working closely with archaeologists and we are advancing with a lot of care.

The tour of Sighisoara for the people of Sighisoara

Starting on Thursday, October 13, 2022, we’ve set out to “Discover local history and cultural identity” together. During these informative workshops, we will see the city in a new light, together with a guide who knows almost everything about it – Peter Suciu – and other people who love Sighisoara and live here. The meeting and departure point is right from the Butchers Tower & Bastion.

The cultural Coffee: 3 editions in 2022

The time has come to plan the discussion of an attractive topic, such as the cultural strategy of the city of Sighisoara. First, we will meet people with initiative who are active in the cultural life of Sighisoara. Then, we will work together over a coffee in the city. Finally, we will discuss concrete projects and choose the possible ones that we can organize together and for which we have the necessary resources.
