Summary/Abstract: Romania is now a Member State of European Union, being deeply involved in the process of European integration. European integration and construction are national goals, which have to be based on coherence and effective management of multiple interdependencies. For us, Transylvanians, the central point of integration is Transylvania and the social representations of cultural phenomenon in this region could be important pre-requisites of this process. Transylvania was considered a “land of tolerance”, a “distinctive example in a hatred Europe” and the essential element which based substantiated this state was interconfesionalism. The approach of the Transylvanian issue represents a regional study case, a major contribution to the deciphering of the major issue of national identity and of nationalism in contemporary Europe. In this context, the manifestation of regionalization in cultural space, through values, by the involvement of educational and institutional actors in building of those social representations which favor the elaboration of a specific Transylvanian cultural-integrative ideology (but of other regions also) could be considered the right measure of present times.
