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

THE VOLUNTEER’S DIARY IN BULGARIA
OUR POSTER
The social services center for children and families”Samaritans’.
20.10.2009
Today we met Tsveta Hristova, a volunteer and a social worker in the social services center for children and families'Samaritans ', Stara Zagora.We wanted to become familiar with activities of the volunteer.Each of us has identified a few basic things about volunteer’s job. We discussed all suggestions and recorded them on the whiteboard. What is volunteering and why it is needed ?Who is a volunteer?
-To be a volunteer is a personal choice.
-Volunteer is brave;
-To be a volunteer means to give your time and energy in return for knowledge and experience.
-He is a man or a woman/a boy or a girl/ who wants and loves to help at his own free will ;
-To be a volunteer means to spend your time in activities which are pleasant, beneficial and sometimes fun; activities which help you develop personal skills, meet new people and visit new places.
-He or she always helps people and animals in need;
-He or she doesn’t want payment for his work;
- He or she gets satisfaction from his or her activities;
- Volunteering is a way of thinking.
Each of us remembered moments when he or she helped people and animals in need, but the main question was how to understand who is in need, because there are people who take unfair advantage of people’s goodness /kindness/.We talked about Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats involved in volunteer programmes.Then we took a good look at the lobby of the center and the rooms for children deprived of parental care. Objects made by children with special educational needs fascinated us and we accepted Tsveta’s proposal to help those childen with their activities and to learn new techniques and skills in art.

ACES PARTNERSHIP PROJECT “Have your say! Young Europeans shape their future”
Applicant school(project co-ordinator): School no. 49, Vatra Luminoasa Street No 99,Sector 2,Bucharest,Romania
Partner school 2 :OS Djura Jaksic,Lenjinova Street No1, Zajecar,Serbia
Partner school 3: OU 1 'Georgy Bakalov',28 Podpolkovnik Kalitin Street,Stara Zagora,Bulgaria
Our project focuses on three stages:
A) to become familiar with the needs of the community we live in;
B) to get involved so as to be useful for the needy;
C) to promote volunteering through an effective information campaign.
By participating in this project, students will learn from experienced volunteers working for NGOs what volunteering means, which are the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats involved in volunteer programmes. By passing through the three stages, students will develop activism skills, such as: problem solving and decision making techniques through their involvement in different social activities; awareness on the possibility to promote their actions through the organization of information campaigns; valorification of the information they acquire during the school activities. Moreover, the information campaign on volunteering we want to conduct is meant to influence and improve the perception of volunteer work at the community level, and it will be concretized in posting an electronic newspaper (e-paper) presenting aspects related to the students’ volunteer work and interviews with experienced volunteers working for NGOs, spreading out leaflets with PRO active citizenship messages, and making T-shirts, badges and posters promoting volunteering.
