World Vision and other NGOs joined the Romanian Ministry of Research and
Education with events to mark 'Permanent Education Week' in Romania.

Under the banner 'Education for life', the organisations created educational
and cultural events in country libraries throughout southern Romania, as
well as a significant World Vision event in Valcea Area Development
Programme (ADP).

The aim of the festival is promotion, official recognition and
implementation of the European concept 'Learning all life long'.

The Valcea ADP event entitled, 'Together We Build Communities' promoted the
numerous projects and activities developed in Romanian communities.

'The event was a great idea, because it is an excellent opportunity for
World Vision to become well known in the county. For me, it was amazing to
see how a few beneficiaries came here and told the guests how World Vision
helped them in risky or difficult situations,' said Mr Popescu, Valcea ADP
School Director.

The festival was organised by the German Popular Universities Association in
partnership with Romanian Ministry of Research and Education, Culture
Ministry, National Agency of Labor Employment and other local institutions
as: Local City Hall, County Educational Department, County Art Museum,
Theatres, Commerce and Industry Chamber, Police County Department and the
Youth County Department.

The First Festival of Learning was launched in 1992 in Great Britain and it
was adopted by numerous others.
