Život v komunite

There are several enthusiasts in Zajezova who are trying and record memories of Zajezova’s original inhabitants and preserve them for future generations. Together with the local children they visited several elderly people. Their testimonies were recorded and processed into a 40minutes long film by professional film makers who also live in Zajezova. Apart from that, several short videos were created. Some of the interviews were published in the local newspaper NAOZAJ and are as well published on this website.

V Zaježovej žije viacero nadšencov, ktorí sa snažia zaznamenať spomienky pôvodných obyvateľov Zaježovej a uchovať ich pre budúce generácie. Spolu s miestnymi deťmi navštívili viacerých starších ľudí. Ich výpovede zaznamenali profesionálni filmári, taktiež obyvatelia Zaježovej, a spracovali ich do podoby 40 min. trvajúceho filmu. Okrem toho vytvorili aj niekoľko krátkych videí. Časť rozhovorov zverejnil aj miestny časopis NAOZAJ a sú dostupné aj na tejto stránke. V rámci projektu boli zdigitalizované aj staré fotografie.

Zajezova is an agricultural region, but due to its location it has traditionally been focusing on animal husbandry. However, cattle, sheep or goats are kept only by a couple of families, most of them belonging to the original inhabitants. Families who don’t keep animals buy products from them and thus support the local economy. Almost every family here has a bigger or smaller garden and orchard which provides a part of their food. The families then trade, sell or give away surplus of garden produce and seeds among each other

Zaježová je poľnohospodárska oblasť, avšak vzhľadom na svoju polohu je tradične zameraná najmä na chov zvierat. Tomu sa však venuje len niekoľko rodín, z väčšej časti spomedzi starousadlíkov. Ľudia, ktorí nechovajú zvieratá od nich nakupujú produkty priamo "z dvora" a podporujú tak miestnu ekonomiku. Takmer každá rodina tu má väčšiu či menšiu záhradku a sad, kde si dopestuje časť potravín pre svoju potrebu. Nadprodukciu, či osivá si navzájom vymieňajú, darujú, alebo predávajú.

The forest kindergarden was established in 2011 as the first of its kind in Slovakia. It came into being thanks to the tradition of regular and non-regular activities for pre-school children which are part of the local social life since the number of youngest inhabitants started to grow.
