Romania Seen Through Your Camera 4: Muntenia

Dear future partners,

We, “Support for Youth Development” Association (Romanian NGO), will apply for the 1st of February call with a youth exchange project (Action 1.1).
It will be the fourth edition of the project "Romania Seen Through Your Camera"
(www.realromania.org).

The first edition was successfully implemented between 20-28 August 2011 in Transylvania and it achieved Its goal: to change the stereotypes and prejudices the participants had about Romania. Also, the participants have worked on media materials (photographs, videos and articles) about the country, available on the project website.
The second edition took place in Moldavia, Romania, between 12-23 April 2012. It aimed to continue the work started through the first edition. The participants had the occasion to visit cities, villages and monasteries in the area and ’paint’ the real image of Romania through pictures, videos and articles.
The third edition was implemented in Dobrogea, another area of Romania, by the Black Sea and the Danube Delta, between 20-31 August 2012. During this period, the participants had the opportunity to discover the oldest mountains of the country, the only forest in Romania with wild horses and different multi-ethnic communities. The results of the participants’ work (photos, videos and articles about Romania) were featured in a public exhibition, organized in each of the implicated countries.

We want to make the fourth edition even better than the previous, in July 2013!
If your organisation is interested in photography, video making and writing articles, and you want to discover the real Romania while breaking its stereotypes and prejudices, step up and apply for this project!
