This is a project of the “Eric Voegelin”
Cultural Association, addressed to students who are interested in history,
philosophy, law, international relations and politology. The chosen location is
the town of Vatra Dornei, settled in the heart of the Oriental Carpathians, in
a natural background, with green space and fresh air. The courses take place in
two periods. The first part is dedicated to pupils, during winter, in January
or February.
The principal aim is to contribute to
the combat of the social exclusion and the lowering of the disparities in
society and in different social groups. The content regards, in particular,
actions which prove measurable results regarding to the reduction of the
poverty and of social inequalities.
The project comes under “the Development of the
rural interethnic communities” sub-strand. The contribution regards the long
and medium term participation to the development of the interethnic
disadvantaged communities and, implicitly, to the improvement of the situation
of the Roma population.
The winter school is dedicated to the current
problems regarding the minorities in Romania, their active implication and
participation to the political, civic and cultural life. The event will take
place between January and February, in Bucovina. Due to the complexity of this
historical province of Romania (14 national minorities between the two wars), we have chosen a place where school activities and
holiday atmosphere can be combined, in a well-known mountain resort regarding
its cultural diversity, the thermal waters and the fresh air. Furthermore, in
this place communities from the rural zone and the urban one can be reunited,
and due to the proximity between Bucovina and Moldavia, respectively Bucovina
and Transylvania, to the event can also participate exclusive communities for
Moldavia and the Roman-catholic Csangos from Moldavia and the Romanian and
Hungarian nationals. The representatives of Saxons and Székely from
Transilvania can also participate.
The main activities of the school will
be oriented towards the finding of some real, pragmatic solutions, in order to
solve the actual problems of the above mentioned communities and not only.
Thus, within the framework of the event will be organized sessions of
information concerning the actuality of the minorities in Romania, workshops
regarding the democracy, the fundamental rights, the transparence and the
appropriate government, the participative democracy, the fight against racism
and xenophobia, anti-discrimination, social inequalities, trainings and courses
regarding the culture and history of these minorities.
The organizers wish that, in every of
the ten days, a specific national minority who lived or still lives in Bucovina
is presented.
