EVS Express

Just behind micalaca, few meters far, there is a very nice place where you can have a walk and relax yourself if you are tired of the city.

This place was already object of my attention about one possible ecological activity..

even if affected by pollution, you can find there a relaxed atmosphere, like in the countryside...cows, dogs, pigs, goats, sheeps and fishermen...

it s an ideal place for having abarbecue or spend warm evenings of summer together with your friends..

A few moments of work in forest, Natural park Lunca Muresului. Aim of our work is to make model of Mures river and area which is around this river, with all villages and forests. Scale 1:30000.

We started on 10 of march, day by day we are working there. In the begining we were 10 people, now about 5-6. Our work consist of cleaning area from small trees, bushes, digging riverbed, work on level of banks of the river, digging pond for water pump.

Next steps:

making path on both sides of "river" for visitors;

puttingand sand, membrane and then stones in riverbed and pond;

putting pipe for pump, for circuliation of water;

planting some plants and trees to make area more beautiful..

In these days are taking place many ecological actvities in Arad city.

Some of them regards the riverside, behind the city hall, in the city centre.

Some other could be located, with a little effort of each one of us, in the less known places of the town, for example the riverside of Micalaca's neighbourhood.

My task there was to collect pictures of that wich could be one of the nicest places for people to spend their own free time.

These activities are useful when they involve the community and the so-called "active citizenship".

It is to be hoped that new activities will concern those areas very soon.

Hello,i'm Mariangela from italy.The first three months here are was very interesting for me. Hello.I seen very events in Arad and around arad.I was in the park here for to see the nature and the river,i was also in the outside the Casino in Arad and i known some elements for the history and the nature about Arad and Romania.The my idea is here in Romania to make a good job and to respect the communiti peoples.This Parc is very interesting because  you can to understand as the history romanian to developed in the city. In this parc you have the possibility of to see some elements for the natural evolution of the animals here in Romania.In Arad you can find the some place as for example the teathre,the cinema and some homless center for childrens,because in Romania are places many nice and the peoples nice.

The time runs fast and just less than 3 months left till the end of my stay here in Romania. :) In these 3 months I am will continue my previous activities and to start new one as well. The new activity is to make a play in English with children in the school. Sounds challenging, but I am sure, whatever time and energy it will take from, it will worth it... I and children are ready to make the best!

This week was full of positive emotions because of work I hade done together with children in different institutions and different subjects. :)

Moments of the first weeks in the school, presentations of our countries, EVS, inviting young people in our activities.

First time when I went to Children’s Palace I was really surprised. I’ve seen in classroom ten or more really fast computers, big screens and many young people and I’ve seen great opportunity to use my potential and teach kids more about Photoshop and photography. Till that time kids was searching for photos which they use in internet. Now they are making own photos and working on them. Results of that  experiment are really surprising, creativity with every next lesson is growing up and they have more and more fun than ever…

The preparation of Christmas started, and now we are waiting the arrive of Santa.

In last week  we went to Highschool for intraduction meeting but for our suprice it was small warkshops where we prepare xmass tree from one stick and many plastic bootles. Many students help us with this task  as you see on atached photos ;)
