Valóságmanufaktúra Association

Valóságmanufaktúra was established in 2019 as an informal group, when a couple of friends who share the same dream,
bought a land in the Börzsöny mountains. The group has permaculture designers, non formal education trainers, teachers,
psychologists. We started to establish a permaculture farm and in the same time start to organise summer camps for youth,
youth exchanges, festivals in our farm or in other sites in the region. In our activities we use many artistic non-formal
education method, like music, drama, circus.
In general our target group are teenagers and young adults, so from 13 to 20. We consider as a highly relevant target group
youth with few opportunities, who many times have little access to the kind of activities we offer. We have experience
working with youth from the Roma community of Pesterzsébet, Budapest. In this youth group, just like many marginalised
urban community, connecting to nature is a highly relevant need, as they do not usually have the opportunity to have a deep
personal experience with nature, which is proved to have a very beneficial impact on youth.
