  • Adjud City Strategy Preface
    We, the Counsellors of Adjud City, are united today together for the first Adjud City Development Strategy 2007-2013, with one common goal: „During the forthcoming years to take unconditional active participation in the implementation of the City Strategy and provide visionary leadership, sound representation and prudent financial management” 4 My fellow citizens, visitors and friends of Adjud, In light of 1 January 2007, the day when our country will formally join the European Union, I am pleased to present to you the first ever Adjud City Development Strategy and hope it offers a constructive and useful outline of the goals our city administration has set out to achieve during the next seven years period ahead. Intended for a broad audience, this document is a summary of nearly one year of strategy-related work based on the views and recommendations of a number of groups, individuals and experts. Translating all the technical and consultative work undertaken into a comprehensive strategy document was no easy task. The work involved participatory process followed by valuable insight in identifying the right balance between competing priorities, various stakeholders and citizens’ needs and selection of key actions and policies, of vital importance for the future growth and development of our City. I would like to thank all participants who contributed to the development of the Adjud City Development Strategy. The analyses, consultations and surveys carried out by senior international and local experts and the engagement with the city administration generated thoughtful discussion and helped to improve overall the way we who work for the municipality see our role developing in the future.

  • MONUMENTS for the ROMANIAN HEROES of 1917 Horia
    Annals of the Academy of Romanian Scientists Online Edition Series on History and Archaeology ISSN 2067-5682 Volume 4, Number 4 / 2012 39 MONUMENTS FOR THE ROMANIAN HEROES OF 1917 ∗ Horia DUMITRESCU Abstract : During the Great War heavy battles took place on the Romanian teritorry, at Mǎrǎşti, M ărăş eşti and Oituz, in Vrancea County. In their memory were built the monuments presented below. Keywords : war, heroes, gratitude, monument, Mǎrǎşti, M ărăş eşti and Oituz. After two years of devastating war in Europe and after two years of neutrality, on August 14 th 1916, Romania joined the right and saint war of union, of fulfilling the national aims, legitimate and ancient, of the Romanian people. The inhabitans of Transylvania received the offensive of the Romanian army beyond the Carpathians with enthusiasm and joy. During only two months, the Romanian troops almost reached Sibiu. Being insufficiently supported by the countries of the Antanta, the Romanian army had to retreat fighting heroically for each piece of land. On the rivers Jiu and Olt, at Bucharest and Ramnicu-Sarat, the Romanian soldiers proved heroism simply legendary, sweeping away the intentions of the enemy to throw Romania out of war. The front became stable on the alignment of the Eastern Carpathians, the lower course of the rivers Putna and Siret and of the big river Danube. Moldavia remained the only free part of the country. Here was the strenght and the hope of the Romanian nation. After the recovery, after those intense preparations of June- July 1917, the fights of the Romanian army were to become real in the bright victory from Marasti since 24 th - 30 th of July 1917.

  • Infopack ESC Volunteering Project ”Community Heroes” Marasesti - Focsani, ROMANIA 01/10/2020 – 30/06/2021
    Infopack ESC Volunteering project ”Community Heroes” Marasesti - Focsani, ROMANIA 01/10/2020 – 30/06/2021 Project description Civic participation of children and involvement in the community life of which they belong to, is of great importance for the child’s development and the future adult, but also for the development of the community, of the society as a whole, so affected by passivity, lack of civic involvement, initiative. In this project we start from the premise that active participation cannot be taught by listening to or memorising norms and rules, but by practising and getting involved in the community. The project involves 16 ESC volunteers who are going to support community mini-projects initiated in a voluntary manner by children/youngsters with the help of the ESC volunteers. We want the project to transform children from spectators into architects of change in their own community. Children and young people, together with ESC volunteers and teachers become active agents of change through social entrepreneurship and community involvement. They will work as a team, gain confidence in their ability to create change and develop their 21st century skills. By being directly involved in the change they want to bring in the community, children, young people and volunteers will have the opportunity to feel on their own how they themselves can help solve community problems. The aim of the project is to encourage the involvement of children and young people in community life and to support initiatives that contribute to the promotion of active citizenship and sustainable development. Objectives of the project: 1.

  • Migraţia De Întoarcere a Românilor Din Italia. Studiu De Caz În Vulturu
    MIGRAŢIA DE ÎNTOARCERE A ROMÂNILOR 1 DIN ITALIA. STUDIU DE CAZ ÎN VULTURU, VRANCEA IONELA VLASE igraţia românilor în Italia a cunoscut o serie de schimbări structurale, în ultimele două decenii. La început, românii au M fost migranţi ilegali în căutarea unui loc de muncă în Italia, iar mai apoi au devenit migranţi cu statut legal, în special cu ocazia legalizărilor care au avut loc în Italia în anii 1998 şi 2002. Contextul economic şi politic global, precum şi caracteristicile sociodemografice individuale ale migranţilor au condus la experienţe diferite ale migranţilor în Italia. În ultimii ani putem remarca, în unele comunităţi, evidenţe ale procesului de revenire a migranţilor din Italia. Migraţia spre Italia a fost, de altfel, de la bun început plănuită ca temporară şi este de aşteptat ca, într-o anumită măsură, să rezulte şi mişcarea inversă, de restabilire în localitatea de origine. Cercetarea care stă la baza acestui articol urmăreşte să pună în evidenţă factorii care determină reîntoarcerea migranţilor din Italia în localitatea Vulturu, judeţul Vrancea. Transferurile sociale şi economice ale femeilor şi bărbaţilor sunt modelate diferit în acest context translocal. Reintegrarea românilor reveniţi în ţară se produce genizat, deoarece bărbaţii şi femeile care au lucrat în domenii diferite în Italia tind să aibă şanse diferite de reintegrare pe piaţa muncii, în regiunea de origine. Cuvinte-cheie: migraţia de întoarcere, gen, sustenabilitate, Italia. ARGUMENT Sustenabilitatea proiectului de revenire a migranţilor a devenit o prioritate pe agenda politicilor europene, care încearcă să propună măsuri şi soluţii statelor ce se confruntă cu fenomenul reîntoarcerii în ţară a cetăţenilor lor. Concomitent, tot mai mulţi cercetători din străinătate încearcă să exploreze acest tip de migraţie.

    HUMAN GEOGRAPHIES – Journal of Studies and Research in Human Geography (2010) 4.1, 89-104 www.humangeographies.org.ro THE RECENT DYNAMICS AND STRUCTURE OF INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY OF MOLDAVIAN POPULATION Radu Dimitriua* a University Alexandru Ioan Cuza, Iasi, Romania Abstract: During the last few years the international migration of our fellow citizens has become a day to day trifle. Even before accessing the European Union, Romanians had learnt what Europe stands for, what it aspires to and especially how the real and rich Europe functions, that all so desired and precious Europe. However, this learning act did not occur through the classical method, in a theoretical – didactical manner; instead it was achieved on a more empirical note, in which the place of the classrooms and the sophisticated conference rooms was taken by the actual economic activities performed by Romanians in the West after 1989. Up to this point, adapting and finding a common goal meant physical and nervous effort as opposed to intellectual exercise and academic approach. Categorized by the mass-media with such derogatory titles as “strawberry-pickers”, “Italians” or “voyagers” – these migrants play an important role for the Romanian social landscape, that of a catalyst for the integration of this country into an economically functional system. More than anyone and anything, they constituted the binding material to connect the rest of the country to the West. All these recent past years, they formed the “source” and the “pipeline” through which the wellbeing of so many people poured, from the packed European wallet to the spacious local money belt.
