ACCTING Narrative: Loving nature, living from the nature
Nowadays it is very rare, especially under 30, that someone knows which one is a ‘good’ herb and which one is a ‘bad’ plant while the previous generations have known all about them.
Training Roma people to move them out of their deprived situation
The Kiút programme is a work-integrated training program in which vulnerable Roma people with a predominantly minority background are provided with training and mentoring on how to grow cucumbers on their land and generate income by selling the surplus through companies contracted by the program maintainers. In addition to practical agricultural, entrepreneurial, and accounting skills, underserved, vulnerable people learn pro-environmental values and obtain education about sustainable food production and consumption.
The Road to Empowering Roma Women
Banyaerdő (Forest of the Witches) is an exciting organisation in Dencsháza, Hungary, a village of 560 people in Baranya County. It is a network of environmentalist volunteers who assist Roma women of the rural village in selling their local produce. Through cooperation, Roma women take pioneer roles in strengthening their deprived societies and developing business skills. The volunteers help make this a zero-waste business activity. Besides, the aim is to build useful capacities which would make them more competitive in the labour market.
