Arts Lab 3.0: Leire Saenz - Best decision

Imagine
It feels a little bit weird to be writing my final report more than 2 months after finishing the project. Coming home, on the plane, I wrote a thank you letter that made sense at that time. I finished writing it today. I hope it still makes sense: “I arrived in Romania 9 months ago, with 3 full suitcases and a heart full of hope and excitement. I couldn’t wait to be part of the project, to meet you, to learn your language and to get to know about your culture. The truth is, when I found out about the project, I didn’t have any expectations. I saw in it an opportunity to digest all the knowledge I got from my first year at university, to take a step away and see everything with perspective and maybe, to run away from it. Making the decision to apply for the project, may be one of the best ones I have ever made. This experience has given me more than I can put into words. It has given me the hardest and most beautiful of times and I have grown both personally and professionally. Although

Arts Lab 3.0: Demet Durdu - Learning by doing

Imagine
We started March with the farewell of Leire and Krista. We were so sad they left. We had a great time together and I would like to be with them for the rest of my life. After the girls left, Giyum came to the project from France. We met him and got along very well, we had a lot of fun together and we created nice activities together. We prepared the presentation of our own country on ago-tourism and started to organize the garden of our house in the Cucuteni. We worked as a group, had fun, and got tired. We used to relieve our tiredness with funny conversations. Everyone did their best and together we did a great job.  At the same time, we went to Târgu Frumos schools and introduced volunteerism. This has been one of my favorite activities. We met many young people. And now we know most of the young people in Târgu Frumos.  Starting with this month, I am working in the field of entrepreneurship. We started to produce ceramics with the volunteers of this department. We will raise funds

Arts Lab 3.0 - Kubra Akarsu - We're famous now!

Imagine
Our visibility in Târgu Frumos increased a lot in March. We're so famous now! :)) We facilitated workshops about volunteering for over 180 students from three schools in Târgu Frumos. We shared our experience in Asirys and talked about the importance of non-formal education. In my workshop, I engaged youth to speak about the volunteering values, and I believe this activity was really beneficial. We also tried to clean the Cucuteni garden by going to the village of Băiceni during this month. Even though there were few moments in my life when the earth touched my hands, I cut trees and fought with grass. Although this is not a pleasant job, I realized that sometimes it is more important with whom you do what you do than what you do. Thank you again to everyone who helped us, for making it more enjoyable. At the end of March, we had the opportunity to meet different organisations with an event prepared by our local volunteers. On the same day, we had the night of France and we had a p

Arts Lab 3.0: Demet Durdu - The day has come

Imagine
The day we've been waiting for a long time has come and we opened the Cucuteni Alternative Museum in Târgu Frumos. I made and presented different ceramic art-works inspired by the Cucuteni cultural heritage. People from other cities came to our opening, there was great interest. We did the best with the help of local volunteers. It was also exciting to exhibit my replicas together with the original art pieces at Muzeul Universităţii „Alexandru Ioan Cuza'' from Iași. February has been the last month of the project for two international volunteers. It was hard to say goodbye because we lived together for 7 months, so we started feeling as a family. We promised each other that we would meet again one day. We held a farewell party, a Romanian night and we welcomed our new volunteer friend from France. In February we worked hard, had fun, grieved, laughed and said goodbye. I will spend the remaining 3 months to the fullest and continue to collect memories. I embrace the future

Arts Lab 3.0: Kubra Akarsu - Shortest month of the year

Imagine
The opening of the Cucuteni Museum, which we have been working on for a long time, the Latvian night, the Romanian night, the trip we made with our big local volunteers team, the departure of Krista and Leire, whom we have been a family for over 6 months, meeting our new French friend... This is how much we have packed into the shortest month of the year! February was an extremely active, extremely funny, and extremely sad month for me. We opened our Cucuteni Alternative museum, on which we have been working for 3-4 months, and we received very good reactions. Apart from that, we received the support of ''Alexandru Ioan Cuza'' University Museum to host our alternative exhibition, and we had the chance to meet over 30 history students and present our work. For me, it was a moment that showed that all the tiredness and efforts was worth it. After the reactions I got while I was stressing about how it would be, I made sure that we were doing good things. It was an incredib
