Romania - News
Our school students, members of Folk Ensemble "Bucur", have participated on Children's Day in Turkey (Bursa), event organized by Doğa-Koleji on April 23, 2016. The visit in this school was an interesting exchange program, speaking about the culture and education. For 4 days, the Romanian students were accompanied by Turkish students in all activities included in the program: activities in school (school visits, English lessons, German, arts, mathematics etc.) and out of school (visit the historic center of the Bursa city). The ceremony dedicated to the child and Turkish sovereignty occasioned our delegation presenting a folk show (Romanian traditional dances) and folk costume. It was a unique experience that our students will not forget. It is lasting friendships in the short time in which Romanian students lived in families of Turkish students. I invite you to follow aspects of this visit in Bursa.
