Several students in the Ier Valley learned about the many uses of corn husks during July. Under the guidance of Bátori Szabolcs, a teacher from Săcueni, 35 pupils learned how to make small dolls and corn husk braids. It took a lot of patience for the youngsters to master the art of braiding, but they did a good job and took their creations home with pride. The event, organised by the Ér Hangja Association, was part of a project called “Digitisation of crafts in the Ier Valley”, which aims to involve and familiarise local students with traditional crafts in the region. The project, supported by the European Solidarity Corps and run by the Ér Hangja Association in partnership with the Petőfi Sándor High School and the Săcueni Town Hall, introduces local students to a range of crafts from the Ier Valley.
