October was the month for me to adapt to the project, the country, and new people. We started with a busy period at the beginning of October. We prepared an exhibition with our other teammates by working on artworks depicting our personal idea about what is beautiful in Târgu Frumos, translated as ''Beautiful Fair Town''. By presenting our products to local volunteers, we understood each other better and got good feedback.  Right after, we visited the Cucuteni museum to gather more information about Cucuteni, the subject of the next exhibition we will prepare. This month, I met an artist and went to his house, and started participating in activities on drawing.  We organized a final exhibition for the Butea school, where the organisation did workshops for a long time. This event was an important one both for us and for the children we work with. Exhibiting the artworks they produced with us reinforced their creativity and self-confidence In this event, which we held wit

The topics addressed by the project were: environmental protection, recycling, and entrepreneurship.   The French team shared their learning experience on the pages of the sending organisation. Also they were part of a podcast: 🎙Our podcast (created by Jeanne Seguineau, one of the French participant of the YE Craftastic) is a meeting place for young travelers, eager to share their experience with Parcours le Monde. Each episode focuses on a specific theme, which may answer questions you have for the organization of your future projects!  📆 Our first episode is available since WEDNESDAY 8 SEPTEMBER at 2:30pm, on Spotify, Deezer, and YouTube. We receive Moïse and Fatima, who have come to talk to us about the language barrier and how to over

The month of October was a really important month for all of us, since we had our first art exhibition at the Act House, under the name of “Beautiful Fair Town”, for which we had been working for the whole previous month. This period of time was really stressful and full of hard work, but it was incredibly especial seeing the pieces come together in a shared space. Four different ways of looking at the same place that brought us together and welcomed us, the same space that with time is slowly becoming less and less unfamiliar to us. In October, almost like an attempt of giving back, the Act House was full of the pieces that we created inspired on what Târgu Frumos has given to us during these months. For me, the most interesting and enriching part of the whole process was sharing our creations with the people from the town. It was a meeting point for the outside and the inside gaze of this place. During October, we also continued working with Mr. Ciobanu, from whom we are learning to

Marc Caballer also posted in his social media, a testimonial with photos. As every Erasmus+, youth exchange, I did in my life, Craftastic was an incredible experience plenty of interesting people from all around Europe: Romania, Spain, France, Greece, Portugal, Italy, Estonia, Czech Republic, Ireland, Latvia, Azerbaijan, Turkey and even more were participating in this project related with the environmental protection, entrepreneurship and recycling. Now, it's a few days from there and I could think about

Between September 28 and October 4, 2021, two representatives of our organization participated in a networking mobility within the Erasmus Plus program. The activity took place in Croatia, in a town called Samobor. Over the 5 days course, 20 youth workers and leaders from 8 countries developed 5 project ideas for the next Erasmus Plus deadlines. Two methods that we liked, facilitated during the partnership building activities were:  * a walk & talk activity : the whole group in pairs toured the city; every 10 minutes we had to change the discussion partner, approaching a new topic; * fashion show : each national group had to create a paper dress containing useful information about the sending organization; after a cat-walk, we did a 2 minutes presentation about the organisation.  Most of the sessions were focused on developing our project ideas. From defining the target groups, beneficiaries, stakeholders, to activities, methodology, impact, visibility, dissemination and evaluation

September started with a lot of planning, creating structure and visualizing ideas for our one of the biggest events in youth centre – exhibition of all 5 international volunteers “Beautiful Fair Town - Târgu Frumos”. Each of us jumped into creative atmosphere and tried to combine that with rest of activities and workshops. Surely another important journey started – an opportunity to visit Mr. Ciobanu who is a painter and speak about future collaboration with him.  Surely Arts Lab Caravans still were done, so we had an opportunity to visit kind and warm-hearted children and teenagers in Zmeu and Corneşti to show how worthy are arts and self expression. And furthermore to see, how important and visible is the impact we are leaving behind. Autumn as usually brought me a lot of analyzing about what I have done through year and what should be improved. And surely, I have gotten to places which I even didn’t had in my mind – completely different country, having new adventures fulfilled wit
