The project, implemented under the umbrella of the “Self-sufficient Village” concept, invests in the empowerment of vulnerable groups, through support in community infrastructure and creative and experiential learning activities, for the civic activation of the entire village community.

The “Harvest Day in Archita” Event is an event in its second edition, the first taking place in 2022, and is organized in collaboration with the Town Hall of Vânători Municipality and the Local Association “Discover Archita”. The ambitious objective of developing the local economy is achieved in this project with the help of the experience exchanges that the Foundation has already organized in the neighboring localities, but especially with the help of the public cultural events that generate income for the community: brunches and community days. Archita’s Harvest Day is such an occasion, that the residents contribute practically and directly to the well-being of their community. The event, which will take place on Saturday, September 30, 2023, between 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., in the park in front of the Evangelical Church – the central area of ​​the village, is aimed at residents of the community, as well as tourists and residents of neighboring counties, willing to spend a Saturday in a warm, festive atmosphere.

The program is a full one: 11 performers of popular music from the area will maintain the atmosphere, alongside them, there will also be the Târnava-Vânători Dance Ensemble. Raffle with traditional products is another expected element of the event. Those present will be able to win baskets with traditional goodies. The smallest participants in the event will be invited to a wood carving workshop with a member of the local community, and a group of children from the village will prepare a modern dance, under the guidance of a dans teacher from Sighisoara.

Local products, preserves, syrups, jams, honey and jam, autumn vegetables and fruits, as well as truffle dishes, famous in Archita, will be available for those who appreciate the traditional tastes of the area. Entrance to the event is free.
