**The Common Horse Community** is a group of nine enthusiastic young people who participated in the "Community Facilitators" innovation program. As a result of the 1.5 years spent together in the project, they decided to build their own community, which they named "Common Horse." Our community aims to provide opportunities for members and associated individuals to discover themselves and their goals in a real community.

Our goal is to establish a Rural Innovation Center/HUB in Kerkakutas, where one of our members, Mátyás, currently lives with his family. We envision this HUB as a meeting point for our own community, but it can also serve as a community office, a venue for training and camps, and a beautiful, livable shared living space.

Since the Community Facilitator program was coordinated by the Szatyor Association, it was natural to support the Common Horse project with a group volunteering effort.
