Proiectul “Here There” la o noua etapa/ A new stage of “Here There” project

Proiectul HERE THERE realizat de A.C.T.O.R. cu sprijinul financiar al Programului Tineret in Actiune  se deruleaza pe durata a doi ani incepand din august 2013.

Pana la aceasta data (iulie 2014)

– 9 tineri din Danemarca, Estonia, Franta, Italia, Spania, Polonia, Argentina, Ghana si Peru au cunoscut din plin toate provocarile activitatilor cu copiii romani din spitale, gradinite, scoli, atat din Bucuresti, cat si din diferite zone rurale. Ei au venit in toamna anului trecut urmand sa stea un an in Romania.

– 3 tinere din Romania au experimentat voluntariatul in context intercultural dezvoltand activitati cu accent pe diversitatea culturala pe intelesul copiilor si tinerilor in Franta, Peru si Italia

– 11 tineri din Armenia, Croatia, Georgia, Letonia, Lituania, Spania si Uruguay abia au sosit in Romania si sunt in perioada de pregatire pentru activitatile adresate copiilor si tinerilor romani.

Activitatile se vor incheia in august 2015.

Asa cum se vede HERE THERE este un proiect complex ce solicita micuta echipa a ACTOR la maximum… dar toate eforturile ne sunt rasplatite stiind ca peste 10 000 de copii si tineri, peste 250 de profesori si educatori si indirect un numar impresionant de parinti, ajung sa cunoasca direct si nemijlocit ce inseamna diversitatea culturala, importanta dezvoltarii unei atitutini de toleranta si respect pentru valorile altor culturi de peste mari si tari.

Desi la mijlocul proiectului, de fapt suntem la un nou si minunat inceput de drum HERE THERE.

Dorim sa aducem multumiri speciale artistului fotograf Catalin Zestran pentru aceasta galerie ce surprinde energia si exiberanta tinerilor voluntari Here There.

 

The “Here There” project created by A.C.T.O.R. with the financial support of the Youth in Action Program has been developing ever since august 2013 to this date (July 2014)

-9 youth from Denmark, Estonia, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Argentina, Ghana and Peru have taken on the challenge of having activities with Romanian children in hospitals, kindergartens, schools, of Bucharest, and of other rural areas. They arrived during last year’s autumn and stayed in Romania for a year.

-3 Romanian girls have experienced volunteering in intercultural context, developing activities which have strong focus on cultural diversity, so it can be understood by the children from France, Peru and Italy.  

-11 youth from Armenia, Croatia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Spain and Uruguay have just arrived in Romania and are in their training sessions so they learn how to interact with Romanian children and teens.

The activities will end on august 2015.

As you can probably notice, the Here There project is a very complex  task which requires A.C.T.O.R.’s small team to work at full potential… but all our efforts are repaid knowing that over 10 000 children and teens, over 250 teachers and educators and a great number of parents, get to acknowledge directly what cultural diversity is and the importance of developing a tolerant and respectful attitude towards the values of other cultures.

 

Although we are half-way through the project, we are yet to face a beautiful new beginning for HERE THERE.
