“On my trip home from Košice, I got to enjoy my first visits to Rožňava, Betliar, Pašková, Krásnohorské Podhradie, and Lučenec, as well as a return visit to Rimavská Sobota. As happens nearly everywhere I visit in Slovakia, I was deeply impressed by the dedicated and imaginative civil society activists I met. The group from @OtvorDvor in Roznava was particularly impressive. They are making remarkable progress in a long-term project to restore a local monastery and transform it into a center for public discussion, artists’ and audio studios, crafts, and other services, including a library and café. Their commitment to their home town will bring new vitality and opportunity to Rožňava.”
