What to bring
Typical food and drinks from your countries! We will have traditional evenings during the project and basically every evening will belong to a different country. Unfortunately, we don’t have budget to reimburse you the expenses made for the things that you are bringing but try to be creative and funny! You can bring typical costumes, ornaments, leaflets, posters, flyers, food, sweets, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks… and so on! There may be the possibility to cook something using the kitchen of the establishment.
Also, you can show videos, photos, sing music and dance traditional dances from your countries! We are counting on you to make these evenings as interesting as possible and promise to help you in any way that we can!!!
In March, weather can be cold in the mountains! Prepare for temperatures between 10 Celsius or more during the day and as low as -5 (or lower) Celsius during nights. It is recommended to bring some warm clothes in case it rains/snows and you wish to stay outside during the evening, when it gets freezing. It is likely that we will have snow.
Towels and whatever you need for taking shower, washing, etc.
Good shoes and proper clothes for outdoors. The mountains of the area are very beautiful, so we might organize one hiking trip (8-9 hours, medium difficulty) with the entire group, so it would be mandatory to have proper hiking equipment if you wish to take part. More details about that will come in the weeks before the exchange because it is important to take into consideration the weather, temperature, amount of snow and other technicalities, before venturing on a hiking path.
Research about the situation of youth entrepreneurship and start-up businesses initiated by young people in your home regions. It would be wise to look into the matter before coming to Romania and during the work sessions explain and give practical examples from your countries.
Although we can’t reimburse you the cost of health insurances, we strongly encourage you to make one! Romania is an EU member state, so an insurance for traveling here should be cheap and easy to make. If you have a European Health Card, please bring it with you, it is valid in our hospital system also and can replace a regular insurance.
