The project is implemented in the Romanian part of the Carpathian
Mountains. The project site is the community of Neaua, that
consists of five tiny villages: Rigmani, Sansimon, Neaua,
Ghinesti, Vadas. These villages are situated along a valley
so they strongly belong together geographically.
If you are interested in the history of these villages, please

During the implementation of the project the inhabitants
of each of the village expressed their opinion on the strengths,
weaknesses and opportunities for development of their villages.
