THE ROLE OF LOCAL ASSETS IN STRENGTHENING IDENTITY AND BUILDING COMMUNITY ALONG THE VOJVODINA SECTION OF THE TISZA RIVER

Summary/Abstract: In the 21st century, one of the biggest challenges for the Hungarian community across the border is to find the values by which it can be strengthened and remain a minority through self-organization. Nowadays, the preservation of the mother tongue education, language and culture is an important goal for the preservation of the identity of the Hungarians of Vojvodina, despite the significant population decline. There are a number of non-governmental organizations and cultural institutions that aim to maintain their native language culture and have undertaken the task of preserving their cultural identity. "The study covers in general the elements of local and cultural heritage of the area along the river Tisza, including those of a small town called Senta, as well as the community-building activities of cultural institutions, which shape and strengthen the local identity. The study reviews how rural, traditional heritage; local values; cultural, built and intellectual heritage, and the community life associated with them serve the survival of an active community and reinforce its identity.
