🏢 About the local organisation
Boróka House is located in Nógrád County in Diósjenő. The House works as a community place and child welfare center since 2015. The main focus of the association is to spread the idea of environmental protection and environmental awareness. Other important topics are cherished as well as traditions and community development. The House gives place regularly to traditional and handicraft workshops for the local people. One of the missions of the association is to give opportunity for the local, underprivileged children to get familiar with the topic of environmental protection through a non-formal way of education.
