Cultural clusters – to be discovered

An on-going adventure is how one could describe the project “Cultural clusters – to be discovered”: a project whose ideas of intercultural communication, involvement, action, and friendship brought together 52 volunteers from 16 countries, along with 26 local volunteers from Romania. “Cultural clusters – to be discovered” is the largest European Voluntary Service project financed by a national agency, uniting 20 different languages and traditions from Europe and neighbouring regions. The activities are taking place in Arad along with other towns and villages in Arad and Alba County, as well as in several villages in western Romania. The volunteers are involved in a wide range of activities, such as film and photography workshops, ecological activities, and volunteering at youth centres. The volunteers actually create cultural clusters in their local communities. Working together, they’re producing documentaries on youth organisations and local communities in Romania. All the volunteers are involved with the administration of the project as well as in the promotion of it’s website, newsletter, a dance workshop, and a local campaign about the importance of donating blood. For instance, one of the 13 activities currently going on is a workshop on film and photography, in which the volunteers edit reportages, conduct interviews, and make documentaries. All of the materials they produce are posted on the project’s website. The participants learned a lot about other cultures, personalities and how you can quickly adapt to a new environment.
