Asociația SUPER TINERI (ASIRYS)

We completed the second project on the Cucuteni civilization, and it was a very enjoyable experience. I learned about the Cucuteni civilization, their lives, and arts for the first time. The artistic production of the team was great, and I'm proud of what we achieved. My friend Muhammad and I organized an Egyptian Cultural Day. We invited friends of different ages here in Romania, and we all had a lot of fun. Muhammad and I shared interesting facts, pictures, and videos about Egyptian culture, including historical places, tourist attractions, cities, popular foods, clothing, arts, dances, and ancient Egyptians. We danced together, played some games, and simulated some aspects of Egyptian culture. It was a delightful and beautiful day. We also surprised our friend Aliye on her birthday, and it was fun, beautiful, and emotional time for all of us. Hassan Mohamed Fathi Mostafa Ghonim is from Egypt, and he is participating in a six-month volunteering program within Arts Lab 5.0, a pro

I think this month was the busiest month so far.  We went to Moldova for 5 days for the Caravan event. 5 days, 5 different places and schools, hundreds of students… To be honest, it was a very tiring event, but I think we managed it somehow.🙈 We organized workshops and contacted a lot of children and youth.  And we got very good feedback.  I think we were able to make them love art a little bit.🎬 🎶🎨 We went to the Orheiul Vechi region.  We visited the open air museum, which is still under construction.  It was very impressive to be among the first to see that area.  Then we went to many more villages and finally to the center of Chișinău.  Then we returned to our house. I call it our home because Romania has become like our home now 💜. We all noticed this on the way back.  We experienced that feeling of relief after being home. 🙏 And of course we are running out of time here.  We are right in the middle of the project.  Time flies so fast.  This makes me feel bad sometimes.  We s

Wow, we ended the third month, which I really cannot believe. And now I’m here to write about the most exhausting but fulfilling month ever!  The third month again started with the photo session for the catalog for the Cucuteni Museum. We went to the Cucuteni and hiked to the hill, the view was amazing. I made some face paintings with Cucuteni patterns for my friends. Since it was really cold, I had some hard times about it, but we spent a nice day there. Then we visited the student club in our neighborhood. Gisela, her colleagues, and the kids performed music for us, as well as my friends. And we met some students from the Moldova school, the school for the next art residency. One of the girls from that school sang some songs and it really touched my soul. I had been really curious about the connection that we will build between us so I was looking forward to meeting with them.  Then the most exhausting week of the project came, the Moldova caravan! We left some of our friends in the

To be honest, I didn't even realize how the second month went by. It feels like it's gone by in the blink of an eye, and we haven't done too much. But when I checked my gallery to see what happened, I saw that we did a lot actually, including an exhibition.  Well, the month started with a big workshop organization. But the interesting part, it was not in the school, it was in our house! In the beginning, it was not a really good idea for me to host more than 50 kids in the house, but finally, it went well because the kids were really kind and excited. This time we tried something different with Raphaelle. We decided to do something that kids really love: face painting! We gave them a lot of paints and set them free. They painted us, we painted them, they painted each other. At the end of the day, everyone was decorated with folklore patterns somehow. But the most important part, everyone had a lot of fun! And at the end of the day, something happened. While sharing our feel

To be completely honest, I am writing this report very late. First thing to notice: It's getting colder now, so we finally winning the battle against flies in our home! I am teaching beading classes at a local school. I have the youngest students, all of whom are girls. I really enjoy teaching them, and I mean that with all my heart. Of course, some of them are not very interested, and one girl left the lesson in the end, but I am not upset at all. This is a good opportunity to learn how to teach. By the way, don't they drink black tea in Romania? I saw herbal teas on the shelves and only two kinds of black tea. It's really strange for me because, in Ukraine, I always have a choice of 6+ varieties of black tea from different brands and flavors. Immediately, the girls saw me drinking black tea in the WhatsApp group and started asking me what it was. I even took a couple of screenshots of such comments like "Tomorrow I'm going with my mother to buy black tea." S
