Learning in Tinca

Education is the ability to meet life’s situations! Learning is not the product of teaching. Learning is the product of the activity of learners!

Work in progress at ProRroma Kindergarten & Primary School, Tinca!

Music heals...

Music can heal the wounds which medicine cannot touch! Music replays the past memories, awaken our forgotten worlds and make our minds travel!

5th November – International Day of Romani Language

All Romani speakers have at least two languages

In Europe, the Roma were “foreigners”, distinct from the local inhabitants not least on account of their own language, Romani, which is related to the Indian language of Sanskrit. For the identity of Roma groups it is important for them to have their own language, yet Romani is not an official language in any European country. Various dialects of Romani – there are thought to be over 100 – have evolved over the centuries as its speakers have migrated across different countries and settled in the various regions in which they live today.

All Romani speakers are bilingual because they always speak also the local language of the country in which they are living. However, many Roma have lost their own language over the course of their long history, primarily as a result of social marginalization and attempts at forced assimilation. It is estimated that roughly three quarters of Roma today speak Romani as their native tongue. The peculiarity of Romani is that it is first and foremost an oral language.

European Day for the Fight against Trafficking in Human Beings

European Day for the Fight against Trafficking in Human Beings - an event marked at a national level, among others, by a meeting at Parliament level, co-organized by the deputy Oana Țoiu, Bucharest City Hall and the ProTECT Platform.

Our colleague reiterated the need and urgency of the following actions:

• regulating the specialized assistance framework for victims of human trafficking -by extending and clarifying the types of services that correspond to the needs of victims - and developing specific quality standards. They have a direct influence and support the future process of allocating public funds to support care services, support the development of new services and ultimately victims' access to specialized care.
• modification / correlation / clarification of current legislative provisions with direct influence in combating the phenomenon of trafficking (eg aggravating pimping vs. trafficking in human beings for sexual exploitation, offenses in the form of fines for persons involved in prostitution, etc.)
• creation of a unitary model for detection, notification and referral of cases by adopting the updated form of the National Identification and Referral Mechanism (MNIR),
• allocation of funds dedicated to victim assistance (emergency funds / reintegration funds), efficient operationalization of these mechanisms! (eg from funds managed by the National Agency for the Administration of Unavailable Assets
• consulting organizations with activity in the field before initiating normative acts with an impact on traffic issues to ensure that they correspond to the reality of the phenomenon.

We enjoy the collaboration between the wonderful members of the ProTECT Platform and the active partnership with the National Agency Against Trafficking in Human Beings.

A space to be challenged to learn

We choose, together with the whole team of the ProRoma Tinca School and the kind volunteers, to create an educational space in which the children from Tinca come  to with pleasure, to be challenged to learn, to be curious to know.

Together we learn to love, we love to learn.

Thanks to Evelina Noane and Alina Suiugan.
