THIS IS US
The international folklore festival Takí sme (This is us) is specific and unique in the
Nitra region. It is one of the festivals in Slovakia, which is organized under the
auspices and with status of CIOFF, which guarantees its high artistic level and
organizational quality.
Since 2016, the main partner of the event has been the Slovak Arts Council. Since
2008, the main organiser has been the Regional Education Centre in Levice
(hereinafter referred to as ROS). The director of the festival is Alžbeta Sádovská
and the programme director is David Hudec, ROS methodologist.
We firmly believe that culture is extremely important at regional level. It is one of
the most important pillars of our lives. It is in regional culture that we can see our
strength. Continuous efforts to improve the quality of the programme offer, an
increasing number of interesting and stimulating side events for all ages are
paying off in the increasing attendance at the festival. High-quality organization
and staffing, and extensive promotion contribute to the stability and improvement
of the festival and, consequently, to increasing public awareness of its importance
and value. Each year we try to organise the festival in a different village or town of
our district. Our intention and goal is to bring traditional folk culture to the
awareness of all inhabitants of our region, to deepen international relations and
friendship, to spread awareness of the regions of Tekov and Hont. However, the
most important and significant role of the festival is that it connects cultures,
nationalities, minorities and different countries of Europe.
Co-organizers of the festival are villages and towns of our district: (14/9), Levice,
and other in the process of solving where the festival takes place during the
five days of the event. Without the willing and professional cooperation of villages
and towns, an event of such a dimension as the festival Takí sme (This is us)
undoubtedly is, could not be organized.
During the five days there will be four galas, two educational concerts and dance
houses, one folk costume parade, a show of gastronomic specialties (“párance”,
strudels, “podplamenník”), a traditional fair of folk craftsmen, expositions and
lectures. We will also take care of the little ones - dancing, creative workshops....
For cooperation and support in the preparation and realization of the festival we
would like to thank the Slovak Arts Council, the Town of Levice, the Tekov Museum
in Levice and the Nitra Self-Governing Region.
we are looking forward to you
