This year’s construction site at our bacon tower is underway.

In August 2017 a very special event took place in Movile: a group of teenagers from the protestant parish in Berlin-Kreuzberg spent their yearly summer camp in Transylvania.

After very intensive times of work and long discussions, we now also have an official logo! Our logo design group didn’t make it easy for themselves.
