Sdružení Čechů z Banátských karpat
Cheb, Česká republika
Festival years: 2024
The Association of Czechs from the Banat Carpathians was founded out of the internal needs of people who settled in the Czech Republic between 1947 and 1949 and those who returned to the "old homeland" after 1989. The association was founded in 1998 by Alois Křivánek and František Hruza. Since the first national meeting, the association has been active in the Czech Republic and currently has 205 active members. However, it has many more friends and sympathizers. The aim of the association is, among other things, to collect historical materials and present the life and culture of the Banat Czechs and to cooperate in the creation of friendly Czech-Romanian relations, especially on the cultural side.
President of the association: Josef Bouda
