Selection of Projects and Mapping of Clustered Research Findings

The paper analyzes the specific and unique position of a bottom-up cultural initiative that tackles the institutionalization of Roma traditions and heritage and creates real social cohesion on a local level, in a highly rural deprived area (Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg country). The study, based both on field and desk research, on the Roma country House in Hodász stands as an eminent example of resilient cultural heritage.
