Even before the idea of establishing the Association for the Preservation of Traditions was formulated, a handful of people thought that it was necessary to start activities that primarily have a community-creating power, are related to the preservation of traditions and customs, and serve as a good basis for transmitting folk music, folk dances, and folk songs to the younger generation, for age groups.
In the summer of 2017, the Folk Dance and Crafts Camp was organized at the county level.
From this year, Orașul Nou became the new location of the camp.
These programs motivated the creation of the Association for the Preservation of Tradition in December 2017, whose main goals include learning, introducing, and presenting the folk music and dance traditions of the Hungarian-speaking region, as well as collecting and researching our folk traditions.
During community life and dance rehearsals, social and ethical education, personality development, resistance, and movement culture also take center stage.
Currently, the association wants to continue the initiatives it started, with which it tries to unite the communities in local and nearby towns, placing great emphasis on regular work with children, searching and collecting folk customs and songs that are still alive, and organizing folk dances and folk song occasions, which are available all over the world, for age groups.
