Camp Hero




Is media for or against us? In what way does the media affect today? How can an article which is written for help change people's destiny?
“The neighbours of the Roma camp in District X brought to our attention that for a few weeks now the people in the community have stopped using the public fountain which was the only water source they had. We went to the camp to investigate this mystery and found out that Viorica, ¨the man of the day¨, built a pipe system that fuels every household with water. The authorities should know, because this is an illegal act and the Roma are basically stealing water from the tax-paying citizens.” - Rome Daily

The journalist goes to the camp to show Viorica the article she wrote and to congratulate her for becoming the camp hero.

Viorica: But in this article you say that we are doing an illegal thing.
Journalist: Yes, but I also helped you get to the authorities and made your problem public. Nobody would have done this for you. You would’ve never get this far without me.
V: But you pretended you were my ally and now you are putting me in an awful situation. You didn’t say anything about the fact that we went to the authorities and tried to solve the problem with them.
J: Yes, but that wouldn’t have been sensational. Nobody would’ve cared. 

“A few days ago the authorities in District X found out about an illegal act done by the Roma community. The mayor decided that the best solution is to evict everybody in the camp to the city’s outskirts. One of the neighbours says: I feel much better now that I know they’ll be gone. What they did was unacceptable in a civilized society.” - Rome Daily

The article was written in the workshop of Roma Heroes project within the application of Erasmus + in Rome .

What Counts as a Punishment?

What can a schoolgirl do to fight injustice? What do we look for in pedagogues? What can we do for our children to be taught of equality and accepting each other in school? In primary school, I always sat in the first or second row. I hated it! I always wanted to sit in the last row because there, I could have been next to the window watching the whole class. From time to time, some of the "worst" boys were seated next to me. The rules for table plan were the following: 1.   bad students sit next to good students 2.   if you are a good student and do something wrong (which happened to me quite often) then you will get a Gypsy next to you For a few days or for months, it depended on the scale of the punishment. I liked those boys because they found this process unfair, too. I had three seatmate by this method in the first four years of primary school. When teachers realized that this seating arrangement was no problem for us and we even made friends, I ...

Who killed Somna Grancsa?

What does education mean for you? What would you sacrifice for studying? What can a young student do if her family does not support her in continuing her studies? How can she fight prejudices in the school every day? What is our responsibility for the youngsters and in providing equal opportunities for everyone in starting their lives and being able to study? The play provides insight to a really brave girl's life who has to stand up to her family's will.  The play of Giuvlipen Company from Bucharest is based on a real story; it presents the struggle of the girl, that results in suicide, from various perspectives, raising the validity of different approaches and at the same time pointing out collective responsibility that no one can escape.
