Asociația SUPER TINERI (ASIRYS)

It has been two months since I started my adventure in Romania, during this time I have visited Piatra Neamț, Sovata, Sibiu, Lacul Roșu, Suceava, Gura Humorului, and Iași. I discovered more about Romania, and made new friends. On the 12th of September Wasan and Maja arrived at our house and on the 3rd of October, Chiara and Ataota finally became the Art Lab 4.0 team. We have started new activities with the students of the Liceul Tehnologic "Petru Rareș" Târgu Frumos.

A month has passed since I started my voluntary adventure, I still remember the moment when I applied for the project and all my expectations.

Firstly, I have spent the past several weeks meeting and learning more about my colleagues' countries and traditions. Immediately we became good friends and began to understand the Arts Lab 4.0 project, the idea of the alternative museums of Folklore, Cucuteni, Jewish Memorial Open Museum, and Roma Museum. Secondly, we started our class on the Romanian language and visit more places near our town, Iaşi, Suceava, and Piatra Neamţ. Sharing this time with my colleagues and the other local volunteers and our new friends, Alexandra and Elena were really amazing. Th
