PROJEKTNO SREČANJE V IASIJU, ROMUNIJA

21. do 26. maj, 2008 

Na pot v Romunijo, v mesto Iasi, smo odšli projektni predstavniki iz Slovenije Biotehniškega centra Naklo in sicer koordinatorica projekta Bernarda Božnar, profesorica geografije in sociologije, Marjetka Kastelic Švab, profesorica biologije in gospodinjstva ter dijaka Tjaša Kos in Marjan .

Pot z letalom v mesto Iasi ni bila težavna, razen majhnih logističnih spodrsljajev na dunajskem letališču (niso imeli pravočasnega avtobusnega prevoza do letala) smo uspešno prileteli na cilj. Bila je sreda, 21. maja, okrog 13. ure. Na letališču sta nas pričakala ravnatelj romunske šole »Colegiul National Emil Racovita Iasi« ter romunski koordinator Cristinel, našima dijakoma pa sta dobrodošlico izkazala romunska dijaka Dan in Stefana s svojimi starši. Poleg tega, da smo začutili veliko temperaturno spremembo zraka ( iz slovenskih 15 °C smo prešli na romunskih 27 °C), smo začutili tudi topel sprejem naših gostiteljev.

Tjaša in Marjan sta bila v trenutku pod okriljem bivanja in celotne organizacije Dana in Stefane, midve z Bernardo pa sva že prisedli v ravnateljev avto, v novo Škodo Octavio. Sledila je namestitev v dijaški dom, v sprejemljivo dobro opremljene in na novo prenovljene sobe za profesorje. Po kratkem počitku smo si ogledali novi del mesta in pojedli večerjo (solato kisajo z alkoholnim kisom oz. kisom za vlaganje), kjer sva se že naučili prvo romunsko besedo HVALA- »mulcu meska«. Zvečer smo še pričakali naše kolege s partnerskih šol iz Estonije in Portugalske ter odšli spat.

 

Naslednji dan zjutraj smo imeli srečanje pri ravnatelju njihove šole. Sledila so »protokolarna« Comenius darila za gostitelja- Romune, ki so tudi nam gostom pripravili darila, da nas slučajno ne bi zeblo (majice,čepice, idr.). Sledil je ogled šole, zbornice; dnevnike imajo A3 formata, na steni slika Marije ter na drugi strani na steni velik LCD televizor za kratkočasenje. Nadaljevali smo s predstavitvijo opravljenih dejavnosti projekta posameznih projektnih partnerjev v veliki dvorani šole. Predstavitve so si ogledali tako profesorji kot dijaki romunske šole- šola z zelo uspešnimi dijaki in učenci, nimajo organizirane malice (otroci največkrat pojedo za malico kos kruha in mleko ali  pozobajo sončnična semena). Obvestila predvajajo na šolskem ekranu. Na šoli imajo tudi center za nadarjene učence in dijake (tu so razredi od 1. do 12. razreda- kot bi bila pri nas združena osnovna šola plus gimnazija), kjer se po izbiri predmeta (fizika, matematika, biologija, zgodovina) ob sobotah in nedeljah pripravljajo učenci skupaj z mentorji na izpite in tekmovanja.

Mi smo predstavili, zaplesali 3 srednjeveške plese, oblečeni v svoja srednjeveška oblačila, katera so sešili naši dijaki pri pouku. Kljub malim napakam, za katere smo vedeli samo plesalci, smo poželi velik aplavz.

Po kosilu (katering) v šoli smo odšli na ogled treh pravoslavnih cerkva - monestirjev; Golia, Cetatuia and Galata. Kar 90 % Romunov je pravoslavcev. So globoko verni - vedno se ob pogledu na monastir trikrat prekrižajo, ne glede na to ali so v avtu ali v avtobusu ali pri mimohodu. Ogledali smo si tudi vinske kleti v kraju Bucum ter njihovo proizvodnjo vina imenovano Bucum, kjer so nam ob strokovnem vodstvu predstavili vsa njihova vina iz vinske kleti. Ob koncu dneva so nas zares prijazni gostitelji peljali v prekrasno naravno okolje, na večerjo tipičnih romunskih jedi v restavracijo na jezeru Čirik. Ker imam zelo rada polento sem najbolj uživala ob njihovi »mamaligi« potreseni z naribanim kozjim sirom - zares fantastokustično. Zraven so nam postregli z okusnimi belimi romunskimi vini.

Utrujeni z zadovoljnimi trebuščki smo odšli k nočnemu počitku.

 

Naslednji dan, 23. maja, smo že zgodaj zjutraj pisali poročila in urejali spletno stran projekta - veliko dela, ker je bilo v projektu veliko narejenega v okviru posameznih partnerskih šol. V soboto, 24. maja smo se odpravili na pravo ekspedicijo z majhnim avtobusom, po zelo naporni cesti, delno asfaltirani, polni lukenj in zastojev, v približno 350 km oddaljeno vaško mestece na severu Romunije z Moldavijo. Ime mesteca Gura Homorului. Tu smo si ogledali monastir Voronet, katerega celotno zunanje pročelje je v freskah, znan kot »Sikstinska kapela vzhoda«. Pot smo nadaljevali preko slikovite pokrajine, kjer se živina prosto pase, ročno obdelujejo polja, kjer je več konjske vprege kot traktorjev, do domače obrti ročno izdelanih glinenih izdelkov. To potovanje smo zaključili s poznim kosilom na kmečkem turizmu Vila Andreea (Homorului), kjer se je celoten ženski del družine izkazal kot odličen gostitelj z okusno hrano in pijačo. Romunska kulinarika je v osnovi podobna našim domačim jedem, le pripravljena z manj zelenjave in sveže solate. Solato v vaseh ponujajo v obliki vložene zelenjave npr. vložene buče, kumarice, feferoni. Kokošja juha je bila zabeljena s kislo smetano, glavna jed pa sestavljena iz zelo okusne goveje pečenke in ocvrtih mesnih kroglic kot prilogo pa so seveda postregli z »mamaligo« potreseno s kozjim sirom. Za sladico so nas pričakale palačinke s kozjo skuto. Zelo okusno!

Naslednji dan je sledil ogled mesta Iasi, kjer slike vse povedo, da gre tu za zares prelepo mesto, kjer se prepleta kultura naroda z njihovo zgodovino. Ogledali smo si velik  botanični vrt z »grmoredom« iz vrtnic, nekaj tipičnimi predstavniki dreves in pokramljali leže v travi ob jezeru na koncu vrta.

Naslednji dan, 26. maja, je sledil odhod domov, poln lepih doživetih vtisov o Romuniji in naših gostiteljih, prijaznih, toplih in spoštovanja vrednih ljudeh.

Special added value of the project for our schools

Students like to attend extracurricular activities, where they learned a lot about organizing workshops, trips, study visits

Students learned how to work in project methodology.

Slovenian school integrated the students with special needs into workshops.

Students improved their English skills.

Teachers from different areas worked together as a team in preparing the activities.

In the Estonian school, students of different nationalities participated in drama activity and also they integrated a student with a light physical disability.

Student from Portugal and Slovenia could attend project meetings where they enriched their lives by integrating new cultures, new traditions, their horizon had broadened and they developed the ability to relate to other people and improve their skills.

 

Schools disseminated the project through articles, through regional radio, through drama presentation in front of parents and other students and teachers and school management. We integrated parents and a theatre into project activities.

 

Obstacles

Shortage of money was a problem but we managed to do project activities.
