Thursday 01.11.2012
The activity that took place on 01.11.2012 was the application through TarguJiu - Novaci
- Baia de Fier - Horezu - Măldăreşti.
The purpose of the application was to make known for
the project's partners the cultural
traditions of the Carpathian area east
of Jiu, to show them to the dairy factory at Novaci (built with EU funds) and
to taste traditional cuisine products in Oltenia a place full of history.
At the application was attended by 15 partners from
Greece, Turkey, Portugal, Poland, Spain and Italy and team members from
Romania.
The departure was made at 9.00 in the Technical
College Nr. 2, and the first objective was visited dairy factory of Novaci.
Guests were explained the need to open the factory in
a region where dairy farming sheep and goats is an activity with ancient
traditions. We visited the factory, the invitations received information about
each process technology suffered by milk.
The second stop was near Novaciului at Cave of old
women an important tourist attraction for Northern Oltenia.
At Horezu was visited the Paloş Ceramics workshop. The
craftsman of pottery workshop did a
demonstration of manufacture a product,
providing information about the materials used and the stages through which one
passes to reach the final product. For the
guests have been presented different ceramics, usefulness and their role
in traditional cuisine.
The last part of the application was the visit of
Vestiges architectural complex of Măldăreşti where guests were introduced to
the traditional lifestyle of the nobles from Northern Oltenia. At Maldar
Mansion held a tasting of a traditional menu (The Menu of the house's
lady).
At 17.00 hours the group left from Măldăreşti the
arrival at TirguJiu being at 18.00.
Wednesday, October 31, the third day of the visit began with a practice
walk: the seven teams' members, guests and hosts, went to town with map in
hand, to see what is offered by the community for young people, in terms of
food.
Participants were considered areas near schools.
Following this raid we found all that near schools in the city, including the
Technical College No. 2, students have few opportunities to eat healthy, to buy
fruit, dairy and other healthy foods, because
schools have too many fast food centres nearby.
The second activity performed on this day was the
visit of the Central Park and of architectural ensemble "Constantin
Brancusi".
Representatives of the seven institutions involved
enjoyed themselves by this oasis of tranquillity, right in the heart of the
stunning works and Brancusi: from the Table of Silence, alley seats, guests
passed under the Gate of the Kiss, continuing its path towards Heroes' Way to
Infinite Column.
At noon, the entire team returned to school, where it
was waited for a traditional meal prepared by the students involved in the
project under the careful guidance of teachers.
The directors of the school, along with two deputy
mayors of the city, representatives of foreign schools, with a welcome message.
In
the afternoon, the whole team was invited to a workshop on the topic of work
was discussing details of the following activities and mobility of students and
teachers. Following a brainstorming name was chosen project's blog: "Mum's
food or fast food?" Also the Spanish team proposed to choose an
appropriate logo design. At the last part of the workshop we talked about the questionnaires developed for students on the fast food diet.
Friday - plan of the future
activities of the project
As planned in
the original program, the Friday, was dedicated for discussions about
development of the project.
Because Spain
wants to achieve student mobility only in families (in return) and they have
only a limited number of families to accommodate students from other countries,
requested a further visit to Portugal, to enable them to achieve the minimum
number of planned mobilities. The proposal was accepted, but it generated a
long discussion about recalculation of the visits' dates, so that all
participants agree. Also Spain has required a change of the date for visit in
their country, following that this visit to take place in September 2013.
After some lengthy discussion, have been set visits at
the following dates:

It was also made a draft about students' mobilities,
in the event of students exchanges in families. Turkey has offered the
possibility to accommodate a larger number of students in school's hostel.
The project's
coordinator also discussed the problem of project’s site to be launched in
November 2012. Site would be managed by the Spanish partner as defined in the
application form would contain separate sections for album project (created by
Turkish partner) healthy eating guide virtual variant (created by Portuguese
partner) respectively Recipes virtual grandmother-in version (made by Polish
partner).
Spanish representatives have said only now, that they
want to replace the site with the blog (that they created during the meeting of
Wednesday), adding that this blog is free and the site requires payment of a
domain, that they are not willing to do.
The coordinator of the project tried to explain that
there may be technical problems with this change, so that the partners could no
longer pay the tasks undertaken in the project, considering that each country
would only put their all materials. To clarify this point it was decided that
each coordinator to seek opinion of the Agency in his country following the
final decision belonging to the project coordinator, who has the duty to
oversee the implementation of all final products to fulfil all tasks undertaken
and partners.
The last part
planned for this day, about how project activities, have been undertaken to
date, has been reviewed briefly, given the very short time left available.
Discussions
were followed in an atmosphere more relaxed for the final working day of the
visit in Romania respectively, reflected in ceremony of giving certificates of
participation for all present.
There were done final photos, there were recalled with pleasure moments of the week spent in Romania, and that are made promises and hopes of review with the occasion of the following visits.
Until then, each partner has to perform the activities
mentioned in the program, also keeping in touch with the project coordinator,
and representatives of other countries.
