The project is implemented by Baranya County Self-Corporation and the Baranya County Local Government Office in the form of a consortium. The aim of the project is to develop the capacity of the communities to take initiative and act in the districts of Baranya County, and to promote the strengthening of community engagement. After the Community survey has been carried out, the project will be able to organise representative events with a larger crowd in order to help achieve the above objectives. In terms of the settlement structure of the county, one of the most segregated areas in the country, most of the social groups live in peripheral settlements. The need for community development and the social life of each social strata evolve differently. Our main goal was to develop local communities in the county’s settlements, to strengthen local identity and social cohesion. Our operational objectives are: — historical exploration and presentation of local community activities to the public in the form of a publication — presentation of community results, organisation of a community exhibition — establishment and operation of local history research communities — collection and exploration of local historical and local knowledge documents — exploration and presentation of local and regional intangible cultural heritage. Thanks to the interventions implemented, the sense of responsibility of the members of the developing communities is strengthened towards each other, which contributes to the resolution of local conflicts, as well as increasing civic activity and developing the necessary competences, volunteering, local identity and belonging to the settlement. The cooperation resulting from the developments will bring a qualitative change to the community life of the county. As stated in the Call, the development of the capacity of local communities to take initiative and act in the districts of the county means strengthening community engagement. Local community identity and belonging to a given municipality and county need to be strengthened, so it is important to increase social activity and cooperation in the region. In order to increase the cohesiveness of the county population, community events and programmes will be organised, which develops the sense of responsibility of the community towards each other. In order to achieve the goal, it is necessary to explore and present the local intangible cultural heritage, to collect local historical documents, to establish and operate research circles that reveal the long forgotten traditions and values of the given settlement. The continuously expanding Baranya County Values Collection shows the needs of the locals. At its meeting of 2 April 2012, the National Assembly adopted Act XXX of 2012 on Hungarian National Values and Hungarikums, which was adopted in accordance with Article — 114/2013. (IV. 16.) supplemented by Government Decree No 16/2001 — established the legal basis for the identification, organisation and protection of national values. In the spirit of the law, the so-called pyramid of Hungarian National Values has developed a multi-complex, bottom-up system. The search, identification and collection of values begins in the settlements, since local values are best known by locals. The experts have already listed the local values in several settlements, which can be continuously expanded. The Hungarian depository is compiled by the Hungarikum Committee during the aggregation of local, sectoral and foreign depositories. As a result, the Baranya County Valuation Committee was set up in 2013, which, selected from the recommendations of the local depositories, started collecting the values of Baranya County, which has continued since then. According to the Committee, 45 values are currently recorded in Baranya County, of which 40 have been declared national values by the Hungarian Values Library. Among the 3 overarching goals of the Baranya County Regional Development Concept for the “Healthy and Renewable Society”, among its strategic target systems, “Promoting social catching-up” is part of the Baranya County Regional Development Programme IV. It fits into the priority of “complex development, health awareness and health prevention for the development of more liveable settlements, more liveable communities to ensure a healthy working society”.
