CONFERINTE

APEL ÎN SPRIJINUL CELOR CARE APĂRĂ FRONTIERELE LIMBII ROMÂNE


,,Bogaţi în lipsuri, în îndatoriri şi în iubiri de moşie, apropiaţi-vă de sufletele noastre, ridicaţi-le până unde poate vrednicia şi conştiinţa voastră trează. Aşa Vă vrem!’’ le spunea în cuvântul de întâmpinare participanţilor la al V-lea congres învăţătoresc din 5-7 august 1923 ţinut la Arad N. Cristea în numele învăţătorilor arădeni.



Congresul Naţional al Învăţătorilor din România şi al Învăţătorilor Români de peste Hotare va avea loc în 6-7 septembrie 2008 la Palatul Parlamentului. Congresul se desfăşoară sub patronajul Ministerului Educaţiei, Cercetării şi Tineretului şi al Camerei Deputaţilor. Contăm pe prezenţa la eveniment a conducerii celor două camere ale parlamentului, a Primului Ministru, a comisiilor de învăţământ şi a comisiilor de politică externă ale parlamentului si a europarlamentarilor care reprezintă România la UE şi CE.
La congres, pe lângă 550 de învăţători din toate judeţele României vrem sa fie prezente şi 50 de cadre didactice de etnie română din Ungaria, Transcarpatia, Bucovina de Nord, Basarabia de Sud, Transnistria, Republica Moldova, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania, Timoc, Banatul Sarbesc.
Pana in prezent nu am lansat invitatiile pentru colegii de peste hotare fiindca nu avem inca asigurata finantarea cazarii si mesei lor pentru 2 zile si cheltuielile de transport. Ar fi deprimanta o neparticipare a lor fiindca Congresul se cheama si al Invatatorilor Romani de peste Hotare. Conform statutului nostru avem o structura in care fiecare comunitate de peste hotare isi delegă reprezentanti. Ar fi dezolant ca dupa ce s-au inscris la noi in asociatie sa nu ii avem intre noi pe reprezentantii acestor colegi care traiesc in alte state dar APARA FRONTIERELE LIMBII ROMANE la cel mai important eveniment.
Medalia de aur (înregistrată la Banca Naţională) acordată Congresului Învăţătorilor în 2006 a fost dată în păstrare până la viitorul congres învăţătorilor români din Tiraspol-Transnistria. Aceşti învăţători din Transnistria au făcut suprema dovadă a ataşamentului faţă de şcoala românească. Au apărat-o la propriu de armata, poliţia şi autorităţile separatiste, au suferit agresiuni fizice şi morale, au făcut şcoală fiindu-le tăiată apa şi curentul luni de zile, au convins elevii şi părinţii că limba nu se păstrează fără sacrificii. În timpul conflictului armat au fost învăţători şi elevi ucişi pentru că mergeau la şcoala cu tricolor românesc. DACA NU SE GĂSESC RESURSE ACEŞTI COLEGI NU VOR FI PRINTRE NOI şi deci NU VOM AVEA LA CONGRES NICI MEDALIA DE AUR A CONGRESULUI NOSTRU.
Cei doritori sa sprijine participarea la congres a acestor colegi din comunitatile amintite pot depune cat cred de cuviinta prin ordin de plata sau mandat poştal în contul IBAN RO32CECEAR0137RON0355948 al Asociatiei Generale a Invatatorilor din Romania (cod fiscal 23564572). deschis la CEC Bank Arad (sucursala CEC Bank Arad are adresa Arad B-dul Revolutiei nr.5-7 cod postal 310139) –cu specificatia ,,pentru cadrele didactice de peste hotare,, sau pot sa ne solicite sa achite direct atunci in Bucuresti cheltuielile pentru unul/unii oaspeti sau o delegatie intreaga.

Intercultural Cities Conference 1-3 May 2008 Liverpool
An official UK event for the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue 2008

In the cities of today and tomorrow, how can people from different cultures really live together - rather than just rub along side one another?

As part of the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue, the Intercultural Cities Conference, will look at migration, diversity and urban life in a fresh way. New thinking is needed on how diverse communities can co-operate in productive harmony instead of leading parallel or antagonistic lives.

The conference is organised by EUCLID and Comedia, in association with the Liverpool Culture Company, and with the support of the European Commission and the Council of Europe.
Taking place in this year's European Capital of Culture the conference will not only provide an opportunity to look at how different cultures can live together but how mixing can be turned to economic, social and cultural advantage - key issues particularly for those responsible for planning and regeneration, the local economy, community cohesion, education and the cultural services.
The three day event will feature various European and international speakers, such as globalisation guru Saskia Sassen, the world authority on diversity and city planning Leonie Sandercock, Lord Bhikhu Parekh, who says it is time to rethink multiculturalism, city leadership expert Carol Coletta, Keith Khan who leads the campaign to make the London 2012 Olympics an unprecedented intercultural festival, and leading European city politicians including Ilda Curti and Pascale Bonniel Chalier.
The conference format will break with convention in pursuit of maximum interaction between delegates and speakers. There will also be the opportunity to get out into Liverpool to see some examples of intercultural dialogue and delegates can also choose from various extra activities, such as a dinner at Anfield, the home of Liverpool Football Club, featuring comedian Shazia Mirza.

Full details can be found at http://inter.culture.info/icc including the early bird booking fee, only available until 31 March!

emisiunile si site-ul RRI, sa raspundeti corect, în scris, la câteva
întrebari si puteti câstiga. Concursul va dura pâna la 31 martie 2008, data

Judetul, cu o populatie de circa 320 de mii de locuitori, are
o suprafata de 5.355 km patrati, are un relief variat distribuit în
amfiteatru spre Câmpia Transilvaniei si înglobeaza zona de contact a
Carpatilor Orientali cu Podisul Transilvaniei, respectiv bazinul superior
al Somesului Mare cu afluentii sai, precum si o mica portiune din bazinul
mijlociu al Muresului. Zona montana reprezinta 48% din suprafata.

Si acum, întrebarile:
- Numiti 3 atractii turistice din judetul Bistrita-Nasaud.
- Ce mari scriitori români s-au nascut în zona?
- Ce stiti despre mitul lui Dracula?
- Cum se numesc muntii în care se afla Castelul lui Dracula?

Va rugam sa ne scrieti si ce v-a determinat sa participati
la concurs. Coordonatele noastre: Radio România International, str. G-ral
