1. Greetings,
My name is […], representative of a youth NGO from Bucharest, Romania, and I am very
interested in a partnership for future collaboration in projects with your organization. Hoping
that you are still looking for partners from Romania I am sending to you some information:
Who are we?
We are called D.G.T. (Do Great Things) Association and our main targets are high-school
and university students, young entrepreneurs and disadvantaged young people in Romania.
We work with volunteers from all universities in Bucharest (especially the Academy of
Economics, the largest economics university from South-East Europe) and we collaborate
with other youngsters all across Romania.
Briefly, D.G.T. Association is a non-governmental organization that was born from the
passion of a few youngsters who wanted to take action and make a change in the society they
were living into. D.G.T.’s founding members have also the desire to give back all the things
they have learned and experienced during previous years of volunteering.
D.G.T.’s mission focuses on national and international networking among young people,
students, trainers and teachers of different nationalities, cultures and backgrounds. It tackles
topics such as inter-cultural exchange, non-formal education, ecology, climate change,
sustainable development, European citizenship and international politics (geopolitics). All
these are added to facilitate the accumulation of experience by young people, through
voluntary activities, allowing them to put into practice the theory learned in school.
What is our experience?
Among our local activities I can enumerate intercultural workshops, various social events,
round-tables and conferences. As of September 2011, D.G.T. together with 13 other
Romanian youth NGOs will participate in the national scale project "Education Otherwise",
funded by the EU Commission through Youth in Action (Action 5.1).
In addition, this October we are increasing the „eco-spirit” among young people from 5
countries by organizing our first youth exchange in Romania: „Eco-Volunteer Citizenship”.
Regarding international activities like youth exchanges, trainings, conferences and other
events of this sort, I can say that our members have very good experience, as we have worked
with many foreign NGOs in elaborating and implementing such projects (YiA and CoE
financing schemes). Activities have been performed in both EU (Germany, Italy, France,
Luxembourg, Poland, Greece, Slovenia, Slovakia, Czech Republic) and non-EU (Turkey,
Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Albania, Macedonia) countries.
Themes of our past projects were related to social problems (migration, integration, fighting
poverty, active citizenship), cultural aspects (respect for diversity, peaceful co-existence),
political issues (democracy, freedom of speech), ecology, sports and arts (painting,
photography, singing, dancing). Therefore, we have quite enough experience in a variety of
topics.
We are interested in your partnership proposal and would like to know more about it. Please
send all details and relevant documentation as a reply to this email. Looking forward to hear
from you!
