The Trei Hotare Bercu Association was founded in March 2011. Based on the operating rules of our association, it undertakes not only agricultural but also cultural tasks, preserving traditions, organizing events, and drafting projects.
In 2012,  we met the leadership of the Zajta commune in Hungary, with the name  Asociatia Vitéz Gaál Lajos, whose members were already experienced, folk actors and dancers. They were looking for a foreign cultural association due to the implementation of a cross-border project, the purpose of which is to learn about cultures and present performances to each other.
In all this, our mediator was Anikó Lengyel, a teacher from Bercu, who settled in Zajtán and specialized in Hungarian literature.
As a first step, the folk song circle was formed.
Inspired by the popular dancers from Zajta, our young people also got into the mood. It has been proven that young people are talented.
The reformed churchman of Bercu, Zsombor Ilonczai was quick to recognize these qualities and from time to time increasingly daring polyphonic performances and songs were and still are practiced by the traditionalists, while folk dance lessons were undertaken by Zsolt Kása and Melinda Kása, and in the second year, jr. Karoly Szarvas.

I deal primarily with waste processing.
My goal is to re-educate the big industrial sewing shops to “zero waste” technology, that is, to make sure that nothing goes to waste. We create unique creative pieces by turning waste into value. We produce bags of our own design from waste received from sewing factories, the decoration of which also includes folk Hungarian motives.
We also offer accessories for children’s rooms, storage, pillows, and toys for children, and we also make creative advertising items for individual orders.

I started my studies at the Secondary School in Agriș, then I continued at the Reformed High School in Satu Mare. After graduation, I opted for Hungarian Ethnography-Hungarian Language and Literature at Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca. Meanwhile, I completed my studies with a specialization in the library. I obtained my specialization degree in Hungarian language and literature at the University of Nyíregyháza.
I have been working as a teacher of Hungarian language and literature since 2009, three of which I taught at the Csűry Bálint Secondary School in Agriș. Besides education, knowing our culture, loving it, and cultivating our traditions and faith always occupy a special place in my life.

During the period when the current school was extended with one floor, grades V-VIII were located in the upper part of the current town hall. In September 2016, the school moved back to its designated location, where education still takes place.The schoolyard was equipped with an artificial grass soccer field and a mini soccer field for kindergarten children. A statue about Bálint Csűry can be found near the main entrance. In the schools in Ciuperceni and Agrișu-Nou, pupils learn on Romanian language. Both schools were renovated.
The school in Agrișu-Nou will receive a completely new building, in which there will be a festive hall in addition to the classrooms.

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.
