Resumo: "The projects location is Kézdivásárhely (Târgu Secuiesc, jud. Covasna), but other settlements of the county as well. Kézdivásárhely is the second largest city of the smallest Romanian county Covasna.
Covasna county has 4 other cities: Covasna, Baraolt, Sfântu Gheorghe and Întorsura Buz?ului. The number of the total population is 222.000 citizens, according to the 2002 census. There are 39 villages and settlements.
In our county, at the moment there is 250 NGOs activating, 20% is youth organization or has youth volunteers, beyond this there are organizations operating in the field of culture, social, sports, environment protection, and organizations with other domains of activity.
The county town, Sfântu Gheorghe, lies at a distance of 35 km, (along the road no. 11), and Brasov at 66 km. On railway it can be reached on the Sfântu Gheorghe - Bre?cu line. The town is at an altitude of 570 m.

Kezdivasarhely is today the second most populous town of Covasna county and the most important settlement of Felso-Haromszek district. In 1992 its population was of 22.912 inhabitants (from which 20.998 were of Hungarian origin, and 1.818 Romanians).
The town lies at the most eastern part of the Carpathian basin. Lying on the plain of the river Feketeügy and on the banks of Torja brook, Kezdivasarhely has been referred to as a town of guilds, of the shoemakers and as the town of alley-yards. The 600-year old town was formed along the commercial road that links Brasov to Moldova (on the road no. 11).

Its peculiar settlement structure - the alley-like yards opening from the gateway of the centre - unique in Europe, has aroused the interest of several researchers. The building up with yards is a peculiar way of space organization and building: only a few real streets lead out from the centre, as behind most gateways there are alley-like yards, where the guilds used to be.
Kézdivásárhely wasn't a castellated city. From the center the streets directed in five directions. Around the market place were built the first ring of courtyards, later the second courtyard- ring. Thanks to this, the street network of the city is concentric. This unique type of settlement-system survived only in Kézdivásárhely.
The courtyards are 2-4 m wide and 25-180 m long. The courtyards were closed, but today these are open and we count 73 of them.
Kézdivásárhely has a very rich touristic aspect. The tourists who come to the city usually want to see the courtyards, which are unique in the world. This is the reason why the whole center is considered as a historical architectural monument.

Today, the town is characterised by light industry, manufacturing industry, agriculture and commercial activity. The rate of unemployment is slightly bigger than the country's average. The town shows variety and tolerance because 3 different nations (Hungarian, Romanian, Rroma) live together peacefully and there are 5 different religious groups.

The city has proper accommodation for volunteers (apartment, hotel, youth hostel, etc), proper dining services (restaurants, canteens, take-out, etc), and programs that greatly facilitate the development of the volunteers personality and general knowledge.
The programs are as follows: cultural programs, activities of civil organizations, theatre, library, art caffé, concerts, volunteer activities and museum.

The town has tennis courts, football fields (indoor and outdoor), ice rink, and many excursion sites (lakes, mountains for camping and hiking - the region is extremely rich in mineral waters, skiing areas).
In August the city celebrates the days of the city with a big festival.
In Vigadó which includes a theater hall with 500 seats and a meeting- room for 200 people, there is also place for club, exhibition room, permanent gallery and other educational- and practice- rooms. The handcrafters from the city have also studios here.

The Museum opened in 1972 as a part of the Szekler National Museum. The aim of the museum is to give us a little insight to the guild's life. One of the most interesting place in the museum is the dolls room, where we can see more than 350 dolls which wear traditional clothes from all around Szeklerland.

Presently we do not have an office (yet), but we have a meeting room, where we use to meet regularly and we have two storage places. All our members have internet connection, so like this the office is ""spread"" between the members. In the town everything is in walking distance, so if needed, it's question of minutes that the group to get together in the meeting room.
We provide computer and internet connection for the volunteer, to be able to work and communicate from her/his place of residence. (As well on the main square and on two other points of the city there are free hotspots (WI-FI) if the volunteer would like to work outside, in case of pleasant weather.) Till we get the office, the not official office is the meeting room, where the daily hot tasks and ideas are discussed.

ZNE is an organisation which is constantly changing and is always open for new ideas, new projects. For that we encourage the volunteers to realise their own project ideas and to develop as much as possible. For that the members of the association are like ""mentors"" for them.
Volunteers can participate in our existing projects as well as in new ones designed by themselves.
The volunteer has the chance to take part in national and international workshops where we are invited or which are organized by us. There is the opportunity to make and publish films (documentary, campaign films, animation …), to learn web content development, basic graphic design, to get experience in project-management, but as well he/she can volunteer for other organisations.

The volunteers can decide in which activities they want to be involved more deeply and they can devote most of their time to those activities. In addition, besides these tasks the volunteers will have the possibilities to make exhibitions or other cultural programmes (for example they can show their countries and traditions). We support these programmes with our personal help and by providing tools and materials to a certain extent. We also provide them with sufficient time - within their work time - to prepare and organise these events.

What actually we offer as learning opportunities, is the experience to work with a dynamic, open-minded group of people, in the work to really make a change in our society.
