Transylvanian Heritage House Foundation

About

The Transylvanian House of Traditions Foundation (EHH) is an organization based in Târgu Mureș (Marosvásárhely), Romania, dedicated to the preservation, transmission, and revitalization of the Hungarian, Romani and Romanian folk culture of Transylvania and the Carpathian Basin.

Our foundation is a strategic partner of the Hungarian Heritage House, based in Budapest. While we operate in close collaboration, we also function as an independent entity. Our headquarters is located in Târgu Mureș, with regional offices in Cluj-Napoca, Odorheiu Secuiesc, and Miercurea Ciuc.
The board of directors consists of nine members, including prominent figures dedicated to safeguarding Transylvanian heritage and traditions, as well as representatives from the Sapientia Foundation.

To achieve our mission, we work alongside 12 strategic partners—other non-governmental organizations that share our commitment to preserving Hungarian cultural heritage. As we implement our vision, the regional offices often initiate independent projects, while all four branches also collaborate to develop joint programs.

Transylvania, a multicultural region, is a unique melting pot of Hungarian, Romanian, Romani, Saxon, and other traditions, where folk music, folk dance, and folk crafts remain a living practice to this day. Our mission is to research and document this uniquely rich tangible and intangible heritage, making it accessible to all generations using modern tools.

In the past 11 years, many programs of the Green Szeklerland Association have been related to the Environmental Education (EE). In 2010 we realized the need to merge smaller educational initiatives into a larger program since individual program’s results showed they were not effective. That’s how Ant School began, which is the biggest environmental and education program in the region. In the next few years we’ll continue to grow by merging other programs. What do we do? What’s the reason behind our effort? In Szeklerland EE is available in many schools. Committed teachers organize environmental activities for their classes. Many of these are short term programs intended for smaller communities. The Ant School is built on these initiatives and its effort to help those who are interested in EE. We assist teachers in different ways to work with EE locally, or those who affiliated with Entschool, or individually.
