Save the Village

Images of village life with a vital square, bakery, butcher’s shop or the local farm, are no longer common in the central European village reality.

Are villages really doomed? After all, many people dream of a life in the countryside, or never want to leave “their” village.

SAVE THE VILLAGE explores the factors behind village decline and offers new potentials of village life in our globalized world.
