Exchange visit in Zajecar

In the week 1st February – 5th February 2010 a group consisting of nine students and three teachers, School no. 49 Bucharest made a visit in Zaječar, Serbia, at one of the two partner schools, OS Djura Jaksic.The colleagues in Zaječar welcomed us warmly and ran two workshops: one about volunteering and another about the intercultural dialogue.

At the end of the project we tried to set up a (virtual) NGO: we worked on finding a name and a status, drawing a logo, deciding upon an intervention area, establishing objectives and expected achievements. Although the students visited different organisations which activate in the social area or the environment protection, they decided that their own ‘virtual’ NGO should be called Confession aiming at promoting non-violence among youngsters.

We visited together the History Museum and the Roman imperial palace Felix Romuliana dating from the third century AD. We had a bath in the thermal waters at Gamzigrad Baja.

 

We visited the Red Cross Organization where the students were informed about the voluntary work done by this NGO and they watched a documentary film about AIDS. We were pleasantly surprised when we met there people speaking Romanian who volunteered to join us and help us with the translation. The project was promoted by the local TV channel where we were interviewed.

Students in Zajecar organized a gala evening for their colleagues in Romania.

Zajecar is a wonderful city, quiet and with different possibilities for leisures.

5th dec-The International Volunteer Day

Activities in Romania

On December the 5th - the International Volunteering Day – we organized an activity called “Offer a smile!” in which the students in the 5th grade wrote messages and drew on post-its they offered later to their schoolmates. The children had fun during this activity and managed to better know their older schoolmates. After such an activity, we realized that it is rather difficult to offer something to a schoolmate you don’t know so well.

Activities in Bulgaria        

We organized on the 4th of December ( 5th dec-The International Volunteer Day) an official school meeting in which students involved in the project received awards ceritificates for their participation in volunteering and they showed their ideas about it on the poster /whiteboard/.

Some of the students decided to send donors sms for animals from Wildlife Rehabilitation and Breeding Centre.
