\n\u201cConstantin and Elena\u201d\u00a0is a documentary about naturalness, about the simple beauty of a life lived to the full.

\nCheerful and colourful, whether we notice them or not, birds accompany us everywhere in our walks through Ro\u0219ia Montan\u0103. Or in any other green area you cross. Yes, even between the blocks of flats in your town. Let’s talk about them and even notice them in their homes: among grasses, near a brook, among the leaves of old trees or pecking some fruit in an orchard. You learn which species you are most likely to meet, how to recognize them by their silhouette, plumage or song and you discover something interesting about each of them.<\/p>\n
\nHow to build a beehive? How to communicate with bees? How to make honey? We invite you to learn all these in Corna village from a local beekeeper who has been developing his small business for ten years.<\/p>\n
\nThe Heritage People project aims to develop an online platform to bring together initiatives for safeguarding built and immaterial heritage. We invite you to discover success stories about people who managed to reactivate local communities by heritage safeguarding initiatives. The project aims for an integrated strategy to promote relevant stories and best practice examples, whether individual or collective, by short video interviews which give an overview of each story. Their role is not only to inform but also to offer opportunities to get involved: we encourage you to contribute to these efforts by individual actions (volunteering, financial contributions, visits to heritage sites etc.). Heritage People is about each of us, because heritage belongs to all of us equally.<\/p>\n
