iNEETiative- EU SEMINAR BUCURESTI, ROMANIA- 19 - 23 MAI 2015
Scrisoare de ACASA catre EUROPA
Nu stiu de ce, dar luna mai mi-e tare draga. Simt ca renasc impreuna cu natura, ma bucur de parfumul ciresilor in floare. Anul acesta, a fost o luna mai speciala pentru mine. Sa va spun si de ce. Pentru ca pentru prima data de cand lucrez ca project manager am participat la un seminar european la Bucuresti, la mine ACASA. Am intalnit oameni minunanti din 20 tari europene : Romania, Austria, Belgia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cipru, Finlanda, Franta, Ungaria, Italia, Luxemburg, Malta, Olanda, Polonia, Portugalia, Romania, Slovenia, Spania, Turcia, Irlanda, cu care am lucrat impreuna pe perioada seminarului. Tema seminarului a fost " iNEETiative - abordare holistică a Tineretului la risc și în situația NEET " ( tineri fara studii, fara educatie, cu situatii precare, fara loc de munca, cu probleme de sanatate, cu handicap, etc ).
Stiti cati tineri sunt in aceasta situatie? V-ati intrebat vreodata ce i-a determinat sa ajunga in aceasta situatie? Criza economica? Poate. Dezinteresul clasei politice ? Poate. Familii dezorganizate? Poate. Poate criza noastra de constiinta, poate ca societatea actuala ii impinge pe tineri sa ajunga in aceasta situatie. Si noi ce facem? Pai ne facem ca nu-i vedem, ca nu stim de ei acum. Mai tarziu ne vor ajuta ei sa-i cunoastem si sa-i vedem. Ne vor acuza ca nu am facut nimic pentru ca si ei sa aiba o viata demna si normala.
Si surpriza mi-a fost si mai mare ca sa aflu ca in toate tarile participante sunt multi tineri in situatii NEET ( Not in Education, Employment or Training ). Nothing, cum spun englezii.
De ce Scrisoare de Acasa catre Europa? Acest seminar a fost un semnal de alarma adresat lumii intregi, Europei ca nu se mai poate continua asa. Programele de invatamant sunt depasite, sitemul de educatie si invatamnat lasa de dorit, familiile sunt coplesite, Europa incepe sa se cutremure. Treziti-va, oameni buni si frumosi ! Stiu ca fiecare dintre noi avem ceva bun in noi, ca fiecare dintre noi avem o menire in lumea asta. Va scriu aceasta scrisoare de ACASA, voua, oamenilor care ma cunoasteti si care nu ma cunoasteti ( ce importanta are?) in numele tinerilor de la
Fundatia Parada,

Comunitatea Reciclare Creativa
si Ateliere fara frontiere.
Sunt tineri carora soarta nu le-a suras prea mult in viata si au ajuns la cosul de gunoi al societatii de unde culeg ceea ce aruncati voi si fac lucruri minunate.
Nu pot sta indiferenta, nu-mi gasesc linistea interioara pana cand nu voi face ceva. Asa, am reusit sa-i catalizez pe toti participantii de la seminar si sa le propun sa facem un proiect european pentru acesti tineri batuti de soarta.
Si nu ne vom opri la a realiza doar un proiect. Vom merge mai departe si o delegatie a celor care vor fi parteneri in proiect va prezenta Parlamanetului European un Memorandum prin care vom atrage atentia Forurilor Europene ca acesti tineri EXISTA si ca vor trebui ajutati. Ne-am saturat de vorbe, tinerii nu pot sa traiasca numai cu vorbe, eu au nevoie de faptele noastre care sa-i ajute sa aiba o viata demna.
Multumesc mult echipei romane de la ANPCDEFP Bucuresti care a organizat intr-un mod exemplar acest seminar : Miruna Covaci, Ileana Racoviceanu, Andra Dobre, Irina Pilos, Andrei Breazu. Ma simt mandra ca sunt romanca !

Young people’s placements for durable integration into the European labour market Program Leonardo da Vinci 2000 - 2006 project RO l2006 /PL97144 lE


Elevii
mei impreuan cu mine am primit echipament de protectie pentru ca urma sa lucram in
atelierele de instalatii impreuna cu tinerii olandezi. Prima zi a trecut, ne-am acomodat cu noul spatiu de cazare. Am impartit elevii in camere si apoi m-am dus la bucatarie. Frigiderul era gol. Trebuia sa ma duc la cumparaturi. L-am rugat pe unul din profesorii olandezi sa ma duca la un supermarket apropiat. Elevii erau morti de foame dupa atata drum. Am plecat cu profesorul, am facut cumparaturile necesare, dar cand sa platesc, nu puteam decat cash. Aveam un card cu mine, dar bani cash nu. M-a imprumutat Coor Mas, profesorul olandez cu bani, am platit si apoi ne-am intors la " baza ". Elevii ma asteptau cum asteptau tiganii pe Ion Creanga sa le duca de mancarea in camp. Numai ca, inainte de a aseza bunatatile pe masa le-am propus sa se organizeze in grupe de cate trei elevi pe zi care sa ma ajute in bucatarie. Au facut o lista pe care au lipit-o pe frigider si pe care au respectat-o pana la sfarsit. Nici unul din ei nu a comentat ca nu vrea sa spele vasele, sau sa mature, sau sa curete zarzavaturile chiar daca acasa ei nu au facut asemenea " munci". Ce s-au mai ospatat apoi cu bunatatile pe care le-am cumparat !
A doua zi au venit cei doi profesori cu cele doua microbuze sa ne duca la Breda, la colegiul Radius unde urma sa ne desfasuram activitatile din proiect. Am vizitat salile de clasa, laboratoarele, cancelaria profesorilor si atelierele.Coor Mas, unul din
profesorii olandezi, le-a prezentat atelierul, sculele, aparatele,
materialele pe care le foloseau la instruirea practica. Elevii mei au
fost foarte surprinsi de ceea ce au vazut. Au fost impartiti pe
echipe mixte romano-olandeze si au inceput sa lucreze impreuna.
Profesorii olandezi au fost impresionati de elevii romani cat de
constiinciosi sunt si cat de bine stiau sa lucreze. Pauza de pranz am
avut-o in sala de mese imensa de care vorbeam mai inainte, iar elevii
mei au fost surprinsi ca trebuiau sa bea supa din niste cani cu gura
larga, ca niste castronele. Fara taitei, paste sau galuste. Pur si
simplu un lichid caruia ei ii spuneau supa. Apoi au venit
sandwich-urile care aveau ingrediente cam ciudate si gustul cam
ciudat. Asa am avut primul contact cu o scoala olandeza. Elevii aveau o sala de mese imensa unde luau pranzul uitandu-se pe un ecran mare de televizor la emisiuni muzicale in limba olandeza. De foame am mancat toti si apoi ne-am intors la programul de
munca pana la ora 17, cand ne-am intors cu microbuzele la locul de
cazare ( 100 km distanta). Acolo am trecut la bucatarie cu elevii
care erau de serviciu in acea zi si le-am gatit o oala de 20 litri de
ciorba de perisoare si friptura cu cartofi la cuptor. Au mancat
saracii si-mi spuneau " Doamna profesoara, in sfarsit am mancat
si noi astazi ". De, era o experienta si pentru ei in a vedea ca
nu peste tot e ca acasa.
Asa au urmat toate ziele primei saptamani,
iar duminica am fost in vizita la Marea Nordului. Frumos, dar batea
vantul cam tare. Am trecut peste cel mai lung pod din Europa de 5 km
lungime, am vazut " portile " construite de olandezi pentru
a controla nivelul apei marii.
In
cea de-a treia duminica am vizitat Amsterdam-ul cu ajutorul unei
romance, jurnalist la radio Romania Actulitati, Claudia Marcu. Ne intalnisem cu cateva zile in urma, cand ea venise sa ne ia un interviu. Interesant a fost faptul ca am inceput interviul in limba engleza, ea nestiind ca eu eram romanca. In momentul in care ea m-a intrebat " De unde sunteti ?" si eu i-am spus " Din Romania " ea a facut ochii mari si mi-a spus in romaneste " Haideti doamna sa vorbim romaneste !" Interviul l-am dat in limba romana atat eu, cat si elevii mei. Asa ne-am imprietenit si ea ne-a propus sa venim la Amsterdam unde ne putea arata locuri interesante. Asa ca, in cea de-a treia duminica ne-am suit in tren si am plecat la Amsterdam. I se mai spune si mica Venetie pentru ca are multe canale. Am " vizitat " Amsterdamul din vaporas. M- a impresionat arhitectura constructiilor, a podurilor si parcarile imense de biciclete. Cred ca erau mii de biciclete in parcari.

COACH TRAINING - OMMEN, OLANDA, 21-28 AUGUST 2014- ENGLISH
COACH
TRAINING - OMMEN, OLANDA, 21-28 AUGUST 2014
I look at this photo with a great pleasure. In my mind are coming back images of every moment spent at Ommen, Holland in August this year. I met great people and I realized that it doesn't matter from which country we are, the sufferings, the hopes, the fears we have all alike. I learned what means friendship, communication and collaboration. And more than that, I learned to understand people. Being a coach means to be human, to lean on the needs of your fellow gently with wisdom and respect and help them to answer at their questions. The coach helps you to find solutions, not give you an advice. Not at all. You're just a guiding in discovery solution that alone your neighbor will find. Sometimes we need to talk to someone, to clear our minds and to find the power to make a decision in our life. At the beginning of training, I wondered, "What am I doing here?" Then I found the answer. I had to leave the airport in Nice at 12.30 and to arrive at Schiphol airport at 14.30. Direct flight, no trouble, I told myself when I got ticket. It wasn't to be. When I arrived in Nice, France, at the airport, where they were displayed on the electronic scoreboard flights, the flight to Amsterdam was written "Delyed". I didn't panicked, I kept my composure, objectivity and clear mind. I thought it was a prelude to what I will study in the Netherlands in training. After 2 hours of waiting, the airport has organized a bus to transport us to the airport in Marseille. At 14.30 we went to Marseille and we arrived at 17. I had calculated this trip, but I learned that in life you can get all without wonder, without doing your thoughts. Before leaving Marseilles I called on the Dutches informing them that I will get me later and confirm if I find a train from Schipol airport to reach Ommen. They confirmed me that I could take a train, so I got to Marseille with my heart in peace. The airport was waiting for us, so, boarding procedures did not last long. We took off at 18 and at 20 I was already at the airport in Amsterdam. At 21.30 I took the train to Ommen and at 23.30 I arrived in this small town, but very cozy and very quiet. I spent days full of emotions, joys and discoverings at the Olde Vechte Foundation with other participants from all over Europe and beyond:Italy, Hungary, Greece,Turkey, Romania, Latvia, Serbia,Portugal, Iran, Czech Republic, France, Lithuania, Belgium, Austria.
Together with all these wonderful young people I have learned that hard times can be ignored if you know and know in which phase you are.
Phase apathy - when you want death because nothing is going.
Phase of pain- you feel the need to be helped by others because you can not do anything.
Phase of fear - when we want to ask for help, but we are afraid to do for fear of pain.
Phase of greed - you want to have and to possess, but you have hesitation. Hunger for money, fame.
Phase of anger - when we are envious of others and we like to stop them.
Phase of pride - when we want to maintain and control the situatiation.
Phase of courage - when you have the power to take decisions without fear and hesitations.
Phase of acceptance - when everything is ok, when it is. You enjoy everything and you not judge anybody.
Phase of peace - when you are full, turned, everyone and everything is part of you. Everything is perfect.

COACH
TRAINING - OMMEN, OLANDA, 21-28 AGOSTO 2014
Guardo con piacere questa foto. Nella mia mente arrivano le immagini di ogni momento trascorso a Ommen, in Olanda nel mese di agosto di quest'anno. Ho incontrato persone fantastiche e mi sono reso conto che non importa in quale paese siamo nati, le sofferenze, le speranze, le paure c'è l' abbiamo tutti. Ho imparato che cosa significa l'amicizia, la comunicazione e la collaborazione. E più di questo, ho imparato a capire le persone. Essere un coach significa essere umano, su cui appoggiarsi alle esigenze del vostro compagno delicatamente con saggezza e rispetto e contribuire a rispondere alle loro domande. Il coach aiuta trovare le soluzioni, non da i consigli. Sei solo una guida nella soluzione di scoperta che solo il prossimo sarà. A volte abbiamo bisogno di parlare con qualcuno per cancellare le nostre menti e trovare la forza di prendere una decisione nella vita. All'inizio della formazione, mi sono chiesto, "Cosa ci faccio qui?" Allora , dopo, ho trovato la risposta. Dovevo partire dal'aeroporto di Nizza alle ore 12.30 e arrivare all'aeroporto di Schipol alle 14.30. Volo diretto, senza problemi, mi sono detta quando ho presso il biglietto. Ma non è stato cosi. Quando sono arrivato a Nizza, in Francia, in aeroporto, dove sono stati esposti tutti voli sul tabellone elettronico, il volo per Amsterdam è stato scritto "Annullato". Non fui presa dal panico, ho mantenuto la calma, l'obiettività e la mente chiara. Ho pensato che fosse un preludio a ciò che era a studiare in Olanda in formazione. Dopo 2 ore di attesa, l'aeroporto ha organizzato un autobus per trasportarci verso l'aeroporto di Marsiglia. Alle 14,30 siamo andati a Marsiglia e siamo arrivati alle 17 ad aeroporto, ma ho imparato che nella vita tutto si può ottenere senza meraviglia, senza fare i miei pensieri. Prima di lasciare Marsiglia ho chiamato gli olandesi informandoli che arriverò più tardi e confermare se si trova un treno dall'aeroporto di Schipol per raggiungere ad Ommen. Mi hanno confermato che avrei potuto prendere un treno, così ho avuto il cuore in pace. L'aeroporto ci aspettavano a noi e le procedure di imbarco non durarono a lungo. Siamo partiti alle ore 18 e alle ore 20 ero già in aeroporto di Amsterdam. Alle 21.30 ho avuto il treno per Ommen e alle 23.30 sono arrivata in questa piccola città, ma molto accogliente e molto tranquilla. Ho trascorso giorni pieni di emozioni, gioie e scoperte a Fondazione di formazione Olde Vechte con altri partecipanti provenienti da tutta l'Europa e oltre: Ilaria Massari (Italia), Elisa Pilatti (Italia) Krisz Arvi Nagy (Ungheria), Karag Olga (Grecia), Korel Maral (Turchia), Cosmin Epureanu (Romania), Sintija Ludborza (Lettonia), Andrijana Radivojevic (Serbia), Cosmin Epure (Romania), São Simão Pedro (Portogallo), Abolfazl Vatanparst (Iran), Hana Svozilová (Repubblica Ceca), Lia Bonnemain (Francia), Lina Ognissanti (Lituania), Vasilis Karakasis (Grecia), Linea Ostyn (Belgio), Wolfi Wulfson (Austria), Olimpia Becheru ( Italia) ed i formatori: Lucie Bilderová (Repubblica Ceca), Tobias Gabor (Ungheria), Hannes Andreas (Grecia), Anna Cheimona (Grecia), Panagiotis Mamouzakis (Grecia), Robert van der Wolk (Paesi Bassi), Marco Vlaming (Paesi Bassi) - il docente.
Insieme a tutti questi meravigliosi giovani ho imparato che i tempi duri possono essere ignorati se si conosce e si sa in quale fase sei.
La Fase di apatia - quando si desidera la morte perché nulla va.
La Fase di dolore - si sente il bisogno di essere aiutato da altri, perché non si può fare nulla, ma altri possono.
La Fase di paura - quando vogliamo chiedere aiuto, ma abbiamo paura di farlo per timore di dolore.
La Fase di avidità - che si desidera avere e possedere, ma ci sono le esitazioni. Fame di denaro, la fama, la rabbia .
La Fase di rabbia - quando siamo invidiosi degli altri e ci piace fermarli.
La Fase di orgoglio - quando si vuole mantenere e controllare la situazione.
La Fase di coraggio - quando avete il potere di prendere decisioni senza paura e esitazioni.
La Fase di accettazione - quando tutto è ok, quando è. Mi piace tutto e non giudico nessuno. La Fase di pace - quando sono pieno, contento, tutti e tutto fanno parte di me. Tutto è perfetto.

COACH TRAINING - OMMEN, OLANDA, 21-28 AUGUST 2014- ROMANIAN
Alaturi de toti acesti tineri minunati am invatat ca momentele grele pot fi trecute daca stii si esti constient in ce faza te afli.
Faza de apatie - cand iti doresti moartea pentru ca nimic nu merge.
Faza de durere- cand simti nevoia de a fi ajutat de altii pentru ca tu nu poti face nimic, dar altii pot.
Faza de teama - cand vrem sa cerem ajutorul, dar ne este teama sa o facem din cauza fricii de durere.
Faza de lacomie - cand dorim sa avem si sa posedam tot, dar cu ezitari. Foamea de bani, de renume, de recunoastere.
Faza de furie - cand suntem invidiosi pe altii si am dori sa-i oprim.
Faza de mandrie - cand dorim sa mentinem si sa controlam situatia.
Faza de curaj - cand avem puterea de a lua decizii fara teama si ezitari.
Faza de acceptare - cand totul este ok, cand totul este. Te bucuri de tot si nu judeci pe nimeni.
Faza de pace - cand eu sunt intreg, implinit, oricine si orice face parte din mine. Absolut totul este perfect.

MEET IN DIVERSITY
MEET IN DIVERSITY
Before leaving Donja Stubai I didn't know , to my shame , anything about Croatia . Preparation , agitation, flight booking , luggages , lists, presentation folders. A few days before departure I got in touch with those who were coming from other countries. I manage to agree with those who came from Cyprus and Bulgaria and to meet them at the airport in Zagreb. I got to Croatia by plane Lufhansa from Turin to Munich , where I had to exchange for Zagreb. Near the gate I saw a group of three young people were sitting on benches ravaged airport . They were tired, but smiling . I recognize Andreas because he sent me a photo by email before leaving the airport . " Olimpia , how are you ? " - Andreas recognized me ." It's good to meet you here , and not in Zagreb " - I told myself silently , moving me to the group of Andreas , Maria and Natalia . There were two hours to take off, so I sit near to youngsters and start talking . Poor of them, had gone in the evening from Nicosia and they arrived at midnight in Munich . They stood the night in the airport till in the morning at 11 when had a flight to Zagreb."Hello , are you the group for the Seminary ? " ethereal voice is heard behind me. I turned back and I saw a girl from Bulgaria, Ati, young, tall, with an enviable figure and a charming smile . "The pasangers for Zagreb 's wait to the gate number ..." - I heared the voice of the airport employees microphone. We queued for boarding and after a few minutes I was on the plane. Ati was a little scared because it was the first airplane flight. I took her by my side to not feel alone and to give some security.We arived at Zagreb. I hadn't seee in my life so that publicans killer figures from the airport . Their eyes gaze at you and make you massive physique shivers down my spine . Poor Mary, they didn't let her go because she had no passport and only identity card . After discussions for an hour where we all tried to persuade publicans we need to get to the seminar and that Mary was she in our group happy out of the airport. Andreas finds a Croatian driver who treats price . We had to travel 80 km to the Donja Stubica and I think we got down to the end of the seminar. Using the hands and the signs, especially words, fall to peace 80 euros and we go. We count every cat hat comes, we accepted.The driver did not know English, but he understood where we wanted to go. We were lucky wirth Ati because she knew speaking Bulgarian and a bit of Russian languages.That was important purpose. On the way, we was getting hungry. Cute food driver stops in front of a village and we rush to buy something . Wed I was thirsty, so I bought two bottles of mineral water, two bananas, chocolate and cheese box. Fortunately, we got in the car and left us "meet in diversity" with other participants in the seminar.Donja Stubica is a village with a few houses and a dream hotel . We paid the taxi and head to the reception. To socialize better, we had shared the room by organizers . I got a Croat, not yet reached . Others that had come and they were with others from other countries. We're each in our rooms to take a shower , unpack and eat something.While arranging my things in the furniture arrived a lady, closed to my age . "
" Hello, I'm Kristina , from Croatia" - she told me with a smile and headed to bed remained free . She put her luggage and we start talking . I explained that I'm not Italian , I'm Romanian, but I'm resident in Italy , which I represent at the seminar. After I chatted a few minutes , she gets a shower ( meanwhile I ate some cheese triangles and drank half a liter of water) and then we got down to reception where we met other participants in the seminar.We began to make acquaintance. Stupor, I'm stuck. They were youngsters from Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Netherlands, Malta, Cyprus, Turkey, England, Croatia, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, Switzerland, Greece. "All together, butis too much," I said in my mind. See how the war will begin. "Meeting in diversity?" - Hm, I hope I can return safely to Italy..
I never ever imagined knowing the situation of conflict in these countries of the former Yugoslavia found that young people can understand so well. For them there was no conflict, no divergence, only friendship, cooperation and friendship. Moreover, they became friends with others, and when I wanted to participate in group work they took me with them.I had the opportunity to meet Julian, he came from Cyprus and his mother is Romanian and father Cypriot . If you have heard him with how much proude he talked about his maternal grandparents from Romania and about the drink wich burn the throat , it called brandy (TUICA).The seminar gave me more information about European program "Youth in action " and more. I met young people with enthusiasm , imagination. I lbecame more rich than I came.
The last day was the birthday of Sandra from Croatia. Kristina , my roommate , was " guilty " of surprise as we did to Sandra . She ordered a huge tort , and when Sandra entered in the restaurant at lunch we started to sing all "Happy Birthday" . Sandra did not expect a such extreme surprise and we saw happiness on her face. Youth who had never seen , but in a few days were able to make a girl happy that no one knows if they will ever meet , is the signal that there is still hope in this world. Is not this a sign of unconditional love ? I can say, yes.
