“Nativity of Jesus” diorama, set up in front of PAPI Corund by RECL employees
22.12.2011
| The RECL administrator in Corund (Harghita County), Bertalan Csaba, found a new way to promote public interest for PAPI. Together with the local administration and an NGO, he set up, during the winter holidays, a diorama in front of PAPI, showing the scene of the Nativity. |
”In order to get people’s attention, the diorama was set up right in front of our building. It was there throughout December, until after the winter holidays. We came up with the ideas in order to get people, especially youth, to come to PAPI”, administrator Bertalan Csaba. His idea had the success he hoped for. In the days following the setting up of the diorama, more than 30 people came to PAPI and asked about its services.
The partner association is called Korondert and unites full of initiative youths from the commune. „The City Hall also works with them in other projects. Besides dealing with activity at PAPI, I keep in touch with the local administration’s local partners, including the Korondert association”, the administrator explains.
People appreciate the initiative
„It was a very good idea, I haven’t seen anything like it in the commune. It was in the spirit of Christmas and brought colour to our holidays”, local Mate Jozsef says. “The diorama was a project we really cared about, in order to emphasise the Christmas holidays. We got help from PAPI, which, like the entire Knowledge-Based Economy Project, means a lot for our community. It also supports our most important institutions, like the City Hall, school and library, by offering internet access and other facilities”, mayor Katona Josef says.
The diorama is a life-size representation of the a certain scene. In Corund, the Nativity includes Joseph and Mary, baby Jesus and the three wise men.
Other projects for the community
In 2011, PAPI Corund was also involved in other projects for the local community. One of them is the CONECT programme, through the project „Let’s grow together”. Other four localities took part: Vărşag, Vlăhiţa, Sântimbru and Belin. The initiative aimed to develop a real partnership and consolidate a cooperation framework meant to capitalise local resources and traditions, IT&C tools and existing experience, in order to consolidate RECL activity and ensure KEP sustainability in the future.
