On 5th-9th
June 2013, High School "Stefan Procopiu” was the host for the third project meeting
held in the Grundtvig Learning Partnership "Everybody Can Do It "(ECDI). There were about 40
people (staff and learners) of the 8 partner countries.
One day of the meeting was devoted to promoting local community project and presentation of
Romanian traditions. The meetings with the Mayor of Vaslui, Mr. Vasile Pavăl with Mayor
Drînceni Mr. Gelu Pecheanu and Pădureni mayor, Mr. Diaconu Themistocles, represented, for each
partner, an opportunity to present information about the partnership "Everybody Can Do it ", and to
make contact with various aspects of Romanian culture and civilization.
On the occasion of outdoor activities held at the Village Hall Drînceni, Ghermanesti and with the
support of the Romanian team and learners, the European partners have come into contact with
Romanian food and folk traditions. Romanian traditional dishes, all prepared with great skill by
Romanian students, enchanted the partners and the welcoming of the guests with bread and salt has
sparked interest. Salt and bread is perhaps the most ancient custom of hospitality of Romania, being
a symbol of harmony and friendship.
The meeting with representatives of Town Hall Pădureni represented another opportunity for the
European partners to come in contact with Romanian traditions and customs. Here folk "Stejarelul"
sparked by the performance delight and applause was repeated among European audiences who
have also made contact with Romanian folk music with sârbele, hore and our movements uppity,
but precise, with the beauty of traditional costumes.

 Turn the sheet
 Tear the sheet in the middle for 1 cm.
 Open the sheet and look at the sheets of all present.
Interpretation:
What do you see? Possible answers: "All sheets are perforated and torn at the edges, but
different." / "I'm different.", "Very few are alike." Although the workload / instruction was the
same and each participant performed the task, the results are different. This result does not mean
that participants were wrong. The result indicates that each of us interpret differently the
information they receive. This result demonstrates that people are different, not better or worse
than others but simply different. As men and women are different, and therefore need to
communicate and learn to accept as they are -different.
2. The portrait of the perfect human being (man or woman)
Description: The moderator/facilitator enables
students to choose a marker/color of a set
(yellow, red, green, brown and orange) and
students are grouped according to the chosen
color. Each group receives a set of materials
created for use: markers, flip-chart sheets. To
each group created is specified the task - the
portrait of a perfect woman (3 groups) or a
perfect man (2 groups).
Instructions:
 Time work-20 minutes.
 The members of each group can
use all the materials to make the
task- the portrait of the perfect man/woman.
 To make the portrait the learners can draw or write.
 . At the end of the 15 minutes, all the portraits will be posted in front of the room.
Interpretation:
Question asked by the moderator/facilitator:
 What/whom do you see in this image?
 Do you see yourself in the portraits you made or the ones made by the other
groups/
 Are your friends, mothers/fathers or girlfriends/boyfriends like this?
 Are there characteristics which are encountered also in the portrait of a man
and also of a woman?
 Is it ok to have a perfect life partner (man/woman)?
The result of the activity:
 recognition that there are not perfect people (women/men);
every man (man/woman) has both strengths and weaknesses;
 traditional features, female or male, are present worldwide in a mixed mode.
