proiect "Remote Communities Under One Europe" 14-23 august 2009

Tema proiectului ”Remote communities under one Europe”, a facut ca 34 de tineri, provenind din sase tari ale Europei: Italia, Germania, Spania, Turcia, Olanda şi România, sa se uneasca intr-un grup, cu scopul de a face un pas inainte in directia integrarii “comunitatilor izolate” (indiferent de tipul lor de izolare), in marea Comunitate Europeana.
Pentru aceasta s-a ales ca loc de desfasurare Sulina, cea mai estica localitate a Uniunii Europene, asezare izolata geografic.
La proiect, printre participanti s-au aflat si tineri dezavantazati social si persoane cu dizabilitati.
Perioada aleasa, a fost 14 - 23.08.2009, si s-a tinut cont de faptul ca la Sulina urma sa se desfasoare Festivalului National de Folclor al Minoritatilor "Serbarile Deltei” editia a IX-a, un foarte bun prilej pentru a introduce in dezbatere tema comuniunii armonioase a mai multor minoritati in acelasi spatiu, precum si de a da o culoare locala proiectului prin accesul la frumusetile folclorului romanesc/dobrogean, Mai mult s-a dorit să fie prezentate bunele practici de toleranţă dinz convieţuirea laolaltă a minotitatilor si etniilor de pe aceste meleaguri.
Activităţile s-au desfasurat intr-o atmosfera deosebit de placuta, caldă şi prietenoasă.

Dumi's impressions


From the first evening of 14.08.09, when we meet in Tulcea, between me and Chriss (the leader of Dutch team), was a connection with a lot of laugh and good spirit. We were roomies in tulcea and also in Sulina. So sunday morning on 16.08.09, on our first morning in Sulina, before breakfast we wanted to go and to drink a coffee on the beach. But because we didn’t know how far is the beach to the camp we gone walking. After few minutes of walking I asked a man: “Where is the beach?”. He said: “Straight .” But I didn’t asked how far it is. Lucky me! Anyway we drunk a coffee on the beach and Chriss wanted to walk back to the camp. But I said to him: “ No way man.” And I think I had a good reason. Because after this morning walk I was tired for the rest of the day and I hardly moved my feet. But this is just one from many stories that I had about this exchange.
