Text repeated afterwards in Romanian / Informatiile sunt reluate in limba romana June 2008 marks the end of the European project "Europe of the 27- Welcome Romania and Bulgaria" (Re. no. CSP-2007-127). The project has taken place during 12 months and has brought together the work of 3 organisations from 3 European countries: Romanian Society for Life Long Learning/Romania- coordinator, bfw/Germany and ZNANIE/Bulgaria. The project has taken place in two phases: in the first phase the products of the project were developed and the second part was dedicated to the dissemination of the project results among the target group of the project, in our case the large public from the 3 partner countries but also the large public from the other European countries. The most important products of the project have been: Research reports on the Romanian, Bulgarian and German cultures. These reports represented the basis for the intercultural study of the project, developed in EN, DE, BG and RO. The intercultural study contains parallel information about the 3 countries partner in the project, highlighting the similarities and difference between them. From the 11 chapters we mention: Important historical data for each of the three countries, National architecture in the European context, Famous people that have brought their contribution to the European values, Important museums for the European patrimony, Tourist destinations, National and regional dishes. The study is available in EN, DE, RO and BG, in printed format and on the project website. http://www.srep.ro/europe27 The brochure of the project is a mix of the 3 cultures, offering in the 6 pages interesting information for the large public. The most interesting subjects are: What you should not miss when visiting Romania/ Bulgaria/Germany, Famous Romanian/Bulgarian, German people. The brochure is available in EN, DE, RO and BG, in printed format and on the project website. The website of the project represents one of the most complex products of the project, having an important role in the dissemination of the project. The website was developed in EN, DE, BG and RO. The website of the project has a deep interactive character offering the visitors information on the project and cultural information on the 3 countries involved in the project. The interactivity of the site is given by the possibility to change the background, the position of the images and also by the cultural quiz and the forum of the project by means of which the citizens in the 3 countries and not only have had the possibility to interact and exchange opinions on European themes of general interest. Until now there have been over 650 posts on the forum which has become an important source of cultural information through the informational richness that it contains. Local seminars in Romania, Bulgaria and Germany 15 seminars took place in Romania, Germany and Bulgaria, 5 in each of the countries. The target group of the seminars was the general public from the 3 partner countries, the organizations wishing to involve as many age groups and social categories. The seminars started in February 2008 and were finalized in June 2008.

Cele mai importante produse ale proiectului au fost: Rapoarte de cercetare privind culturile Romaniei, Bulgariei si Germaniei. Aceste rapoarte au constituit baza pentru studiul intercultural al proiectului, realizat in limbile engleza, germana, bulgara si romana. Studiul intercultural prezinta paralel informatii despre cele trei tari partenere in proiect, evidentiind asemanarile si deosebirile dintre acestea. Dintre cele 11 capitole amintim: Date istorice importante pentru fiecare dintre cele trei tari, Arhitectura nationala in context european, Personalitati care si-au adus contributia la valorile europene, Muzee importante pentru patrimoniul european, Destinatii turistice, Mancaruri traditionale.
