Explaining the evident: community building needs actions, not (only) words

The successful transfer of the good practice calls for socially innovative municipalities that start with small and concrete steps like conditioning and stimulation. It is a way more complex situation to expect people being active and even proactive towards their own environment. It is always better to invite people not only to talk about their neighbourhood, but to actually DO something. We proved this for partner cities by inviting them to DO something on the main square of Gheorgheni.

Images of scenes of despair, pain and disbelief flow in front of us and, at the same time, of great humanity and solidarity. What is emerging of all this is the ability of the human kind to respond resiliently to new shocks such as the one we are witnessing.
