Asia-Europe Forum on Education

It was a great pleasure for me to represent Föreningen Framtidståget at the III Asia-Europe Forum on Education in Bucharest, Romania 7th – 11th October 2015. The forum was organized to mark the 70th Anniversary of the establishment of UNESCO (AEFE) by the European Federation of UNESCO clubs, Centers and Associations (EFUCA) with the support of Romanian National Commission for UNESCO.

AEFE 2015 was themed The Sustainable Development in Education with the following subtopics:
– Future education and the Alliance of Civilizations
– Education post 2015 and 2030 agenda
– From theory to practice, the partnership between school and business in professional, vocational/dual education
– University education-tying technology and innovation on the labor market

The participants were leaders of UNESCO clubs and Associations of over 30 countries and also the representatives from international and Romanian organizations. During the forum the participants had a platform to speak about challenges of education, which they are facing in their countries. Also, they were talking about the education as a way to promote tolerance, human rights, fight against terrorism and etc. The forum brought together persons who are active in the field of education. It was a great possibility to see how Europe and Asia work productively together. The themes of the forum were about formal and non-formal education, which were so interesting for me, as a student and as a youth worker. I got lots of inspiration from this forum, which I will use in my future projects.

After the forum activities, we had possibilities to visit some interesting places in Bucharest: a village called “Pietroasele” which is known for its vineyards and the “Berca Mud Volcanoes” (it is a small volcano-shaped structure typically a few meters high caused by the eruption of mud and natural gases). During these days we had a pleasure to see old Bucharest which was really so attractive. The area has retained many old and historical buildings that make it a cultural highlight. On the last evening we were in the “Central University Library Carl I” where we attended an amazing concert of “Royal Camerata”.

I would like to express my special thanks to Madam Daniela Popescu for the invitation and to the organizers’ group for such a great event.

We hope to continue our active cooperation in the future.

The project included 10 theater workshops conducted by a theater arts mentor, Daniel Lungu, and 10 painting workshops supported by an integrative psychotherapist, Felicia Acsinte. Thematically interconnected, the workshops revealed to the children the role of art in the process of emotional development, self-knowledge and communication.

The activities were carried out simultaneously, in such a way that, the group of children who participated in the theater workshop, the final, to put on a short show, together with the young people who participated in the painting workshops, activities designed to reflect children's results. The final event was hosted by the ASTRA Museum in Sibiu, accompanied by an art therapy workshop, dedicated to children from the I-VIII school in Arpașu de Jos, Sibiu county.

The need for this program was based on the importance of cultural education in early childhood, which is a critical period of development for children. Creating and talking about art facilitates the exchange of ideas and opinions for children, strengthening their self-confidence and shaping their identity.

"Connecting with young people, who have gone through or are going through adverse experiences, it is achieved through the process that art therapy involves. Thanks to techniques close to painting, drawings, modeling, masks, each participant activates his creative potential, with the aim of exploring and better understanding their emotions and feelings. Art itself as a tool, allows you to connect with both group members, dar, especially, with his own self" declared Felicia Acsinte, integrative psychotherapist.
