43. "My desire is for those who study abroad to stay in touch
with their country, to return here, to bring their experiences
and knowledge back here. I would like to see those who
return to their country bring with them new mentalities and
new ideas, which we all need so much.
The meeting this evening and all I have heard here gives me
more reason to hope and be optimistic and to support my
fellow peers who are studying or have finished their studies
abroad. I would wish that they remain patriotic and love
their country wherever they may choose to stay, and I hope
that most of them will return to help it as much as those who
now reside in it.
Through you we can improve the image of this country and
the need for people like you is stringent in this country. We
await, we await, we await you.”

44. The Youth Romanian Forum
"The organizers’ interest in encouraging
Romanians who study abroad to return to
Romania after graduation drew my attention.
If this objective gains strength, it will be the
ultimate proof of your generation’s desire to
take responsibility for Romania's future. The
1848 generation, which envisaged and
achieved the Union of the Romanian
Principalities, was inspired and led by young
visionaries who returned home after studying
abroad.
I like to believe that today’s meeting represents
a real engagement for its organizers, and a
fruitful event for the Romania of today and of
tomorrow. I salute LSRS’ initiative to
collaborate with student organizations back
home. This forum may be the project that will
transform this collaboration from an occasional
one to a permanent one, that will give it the
power of influence and action."

45. Caravana LSRS
Testimonials from participants at LSRS’s Caravana
“The students who made the presentation explained everything in a
pleasant manner and we were able to understand their message and
assimilate all the information they provided for us.”
“The type of information we were given is what made the difference,
we understood much better what studying abroad is all about, and
we learned a lot about opportunities we didn’t know existed. You
made me curious to find out more and to discover where I might go
for my studies.”
“It is useful and important to learn from other Romanian students
who studied abroad and I believe that this Caravan should be
organized all over the country, because there are so many students
who would love to learn more about the topics that you covered.”
“I was very much looking forward to the Caravan’s arrival in our
town; I’ve been thinking for a while now about studying abroad, in
the US or the UK. The speakers were keen to help us understand the
advantages and disadvantages of studying in a specific country.”
“The presentations were very useful and interesting and I believe
that it is an advantage for us to know the opportunities that we have
and to learn from other people’s experiences.”
