The Cultural Center-a gustian answer to the issues of todayʼs Romanian village

The Romanian village is threatened by challenges similar to those it went through before the imposition of the communist regime. Can the cultural center, the solution conceived by the founder of the Sociological School in Bucharest as a response to the problems of the interwar Romanian village, still respond today? This material offers a possible answer. In the first part, the theoretical thinking on which the cultural centers were built and functioned will be presented. The second part is reserved for the exposition of the economic and demographic problems of today's Romanian village. Then, through an exercise of imagination, it will trace the possible solutions offered by the cultural center in solving them. What can be the contribution to the problem of the deficiency of peasant agriculture, or to the low fertility and emigration of young people from the village?
