My life be like

I have already completed my mid-term in Paiova Brasov and this means that more than half of my voluntary service has already elapsed. This training was really designed to take stock of our project, our life and the changes in our way of seeing things. It was also an opportunity to visit Brasov and meet new volunteers. It made me realize how fast time has passed since I arrived in Romania. I was also able to analyse everything I have been able to do so far. The mid-term marked a turning point in our activities within the association, since our return we celebrated the end of the school with the graduation ceremonies in Bicaz and Oarta. We were able to participate in the festivities of the 8th grades and see how our Romanian friends are celebrating this very important event, who means a lot to them.

Summer is (almost) here!

Last weeks in Baia Mare have been similar to a tropical climate, very hot and raining on the same day. And as the weather also our project is in a moment of change. The school year ended and with it also our regular presence in the classroom and as so our work, schedule and type of activities are changing. In the last week of school, we were able to witness the traditions, rituals and celebrations at the end of the school year that for me was totally new and a pleasure to be part of. For now, it is time to re-think and start to plan our Summer’ activities that will give us the flexibility of time and autonomy to develop even more our own activities and to be with the children in a different context.

Typs from business area

5 Reasons why you should vote! by a young European citizen

1 - You may not care now, but you might in a couple of months.

 You may feel that choosing European Parliament members isn't something that affects your life right now.  But while you may not know who or where you will be in next five years, you can be sure that the representants that you can choose now will have a say in the laws that can impact your life in the coming months and years. As in all elections, the vote in these European elections is about choosing your future. When you vote, you choose who makes these decisions and what they represent for the world you want to live in. If you do not vote, you lose your right to complain.

2 – Recognize the influence of the European Parliament. Elected to five years the European Parliament is a major player in the European Union’s decision-making process. And it is the only institution whose powers have grown continuously over the last thirty years. The European Parliament makes big decisions: from how to develop the economy to ensure that the food we eat is safe, from how to reduce youth unemployment to data protection. Your vote gives you the voice to direct EU in the path you agree with.

Reflection on the European Picnic

 As you know, last Friday we were on Campul Tineretului with other volunteers from YMCA and Somaschi sharing European values while promoting the vote for the European Union elections.

Besides having some amazing European food, we also planned and took an EU board game to fight the lack of information about the European Union and raise awareness about the voting process. To show that with voting our voice is heard, we encouraged people to write down their opinion about the European Union and to be part of a “Yes or No” poll with some current topics.

ThisTimeImVoting

The European elections will take place on the next 26th May, and all citizens of the European Union have the right and the duty to vote. It is precisely for this right that we are promoting the vote in Baia Mare with the help of international and national volunteers. These elections are particularly close to our hearts as Erasmus volunteers, it's why we have decided to develop this project. We have carried out several events since the project was launched. 

Ziua Pamantului - sarbatorita de Scoala Gimnaziala Chelinta

Geografie-Istorie) si doamna bibliotecara Angela Morar, au participat la impadurirea unei zone din localitatea Chelinta.
