About
The KALOT Association is a community-based adult education organization with deep roots and a living mission. Founded in 1935 by Jesuit Father Jenő Kerkai, the movement sought to uplift the most vulnerable – especially rural communities – through knowledge, community, and moral strength.
Re-established in 2004 in Șumuleu Ciuc at the initiative of Jesuit Father Imre András, KALOT has been serving adult learning, community growth, and spiritual development in Székely Land and beyond for over 20 years.
Our mission: to contribute to a fairer, more human-centered society by nurturing communities of mature, authentic, and supportive people.
Our values:
– Christian roots with openness to today’s world
– The power of community and personal connection
– Knowledge in service of responsibility
– Identity and culture through tradition and modernity
– Nonprofit commitment to the common good
