The meeting began with a welcome from the project coordinator, Silvia Petre.
Each partner introduced in details the organization they represented.
The partners then started to review the Application, establishing clear understanding of the project’s aims, activities and target learners.
A journalist visited the group during the first day of the meeting and some articles are about to appear in the local newspaper.
It was proposed that a common template to gather all dissemination activities would be produced and each partner will fill it according to the dissemination activity undertaken.
Next day, in the morning, the group went to visit Horezu, a town well-known as an ethnographic centre and an ancient folk pottery centre.
The town emblematic activity is pottery. Horezu is considered the capital of the Romanian folk pottery.
The partners visited two workshops and were able to see the pottery making in action. This was a unique experience, very interesting and beautiful, perfect to get in contact with the Romanian folklore.
The partnership went then to visit the Mayor of Popesti and introduced the project and the envisaged outcomes, as part of the dissemination activities.
A visit to the Horezu Monastery followed. This was one of the country’s main cultural centres during the Renaissance and found by Constantin Brancoveanu. It is now a UNESCO heritage item.
The lunch was offered by Pro Xpert Asociatia, the project coordinator, at the Monastery, in a splendid, peaceful terrace.
The rest of the afternoon and the evening were spent in the countryside with the Romanian project target group, a Rom group with whom the partners danced and sang together, around a succulent barbecue in a joyous atmosphere. Local musicians were present and a wonderful singer who is also a writer and a radio programme producer. The project was introduced and a fruitful cooperation started.
All partners agreed that the meeting was productive and truly pleasant.
Pro Xpert Asociatia, project coordinator and meeting host, was extremely hospitable and all partners experienced a friendly welcome from the team. All participants were comfortable with the partnership’s language which was English.
The partners had a chance to know each other and work in harmony. All enjoyed the meeting very much and left Romania with the feeling of having met new friends. There were also clear ideas on the next project’s phases and tasks.
