Salamanca, End of the Road

So, our project is at the end. The final meeting of TOWEL - TOgether WE Learn project took place in Salamanca - Spain. 
The three project partners - Esperando Association Baia Mare (Romania), CRMF Salamanca, Polish Teachers Union Bialystok Branch - met again, for the last time during this Grundtvig Learning Partnership Project.
The Spanish hosts made a great job again. They have not only prepared very well the meeting, but also arranged for a wonderful visit to the State Reference Center for Alzheimer Salamanca. It was a a really great opportunity to visit  this state-of-the-art center where Alzheimer research and treatment is one step ahead of the world. Incredible place, fantastic facilities and extremely dedicated professionals - these are the ingredients of a model centre, visited and admired by Alzheimer specialists from all over the world. A pleasure for us and a unique opportunity to learn about Alzheimer, about the proper way to work with the patients and about the modern tools available (most of them would be extremely useful for any facility for disabled people).
Other highlight of the project meeting was the Conference on Unemployment in Disadvantaged Collectives, organized by CRMF. Lots of students attend it, but also many officials from the Government and state institutions. And with many interesting and well informed presentations, too!
We had also the special honor to award the diplomas to the CRMF students who worked in the TOWEL project. Some of them prepared the project logo, other prepared other materials for the project and the meetings, some of them filmed the work, some participated in the contests launched in the project by the Spanish partner, and others just participated in the learning events. And we have to admit that their work was very professional and we were impressed by the quality of the the products.
Well, and the final learning events on Salamanca, Spain, automotive history and the final talks on the final report and the project products concluded this visit. And the project is coming itself at the end, slowly but surely...

Salamanca, Mi Amor!

Hola! Que tal?

Well, we have moved forward, to Spain, this time. The second project meeting of the TOWEL Grundtvig Partnership project was in Salamanca, in the spring of 2012.
It was time for Beatriz and Enrique to become the lovely hosts. After a bit of trouble because a general strike in Spain, all the partners met in Salamanca. Impressive city!
University that is the best industry of the city - as Enrique loves to call it. CRMF Centre that is a beauty and a wonderful place for the individuals with disabilities. History on every street, at every step. Tourists and students, in a perfect blend with the local people. A great museum (with a Dimitris Cipariu great Romanian sculptor of splendid criselefantinas).

All these in a nice harmony and balance with very good project meetings, with nice results presented to the partners, things done by the CRMF students. They have done a great lob! Starting with the logo for the project!
A surprise for everybody was the presence of the journalists in the meeting, with a long interview that was nicely reflected the second day in the newspaper.
Gracias, companeros! Thank you, dear friends! Hasta la vista, Salamanca!

WELCOME TO TOWEL - WELCOME TO GRUNDTVIG

Hi!
We are begenning a new journey. After several months of work in the project, we are now starting the blog of the project TOGETHER WE LEARN - TOWEL. A Grundtvig 2011 Learning Partnership project supported financially by the European Commission.
During two years, three partners from Romania, Spain and Poland will work with a new way of learning: small events or circles where people can come together to learn and share their knowledge in an informal way, open and easy.
The events are opened to everybody who wants to participate. Disabled people are welcome. For them, too, it can be an easy way to learn more, to participate, to show to the others their knowledge and, finally, to build bridges with the society.
The partners in the project are:
Esperando Association - from Baia Mare - ROMANIA
Centre for the Recovery of Physically Disabled People Salamanca - SPAIN

Polish Teacher's Union, District Board of PTU in Bialystok - POLAND

Until July 2013 we will continue to come back with news about our work!
So, keep an eye here!
See you!
