Living Heritage in a Hungarian Cultural Region (Hungary) 

The Sárköz is a characteristic cultural region of the lower Danube in Hungary. Its inner part is ethnographically composed of five settlements (Decs, Őcsény, Sárpilis, Alsónyék, Báta), but the public often includes Pörböly as well. The Reformed population living in the area developed rich folk art in the 19th century. The main reason for this was the levelling of the Danube after its regulation and the subsequent enrichment of the region. The characteristic culture of weaving and embroidery, beaded collars, colourful costumes made of precious materials and accessories, the dialect and the folk songs and dances typical of the area together define the cultural identity of the people of the Sárköz. The traditions of the Sárköz are passed down within families and institutions. Dancers can apply the acquired skills in their everyday lives, improving their ability to adapt to others, and strengthening their roles in the community and identity.
