Location:
Your project location is right in the city center. Despite the central location, you don't have to worry about any noise, the area is very quiet and peaceful. Conveniently, there are all kinds of shops, cafes and bars in the area around the volunteer apartment. There is also a cash machine within walking distance. Also nice to know: many facilities have WiFi. As a cool extra, there is the “Game Hut”, a game hut where you can hang out with the other volunteers and play games, for example.
Transylvania is of course extremely well known for the legend of Count Dracula, who is said to have lived at Bran Castle. You should consider a gruesome tour through the vampire's walls - if you dare. An absolute must for anyone traveling to Romania should be the Salina Turda, an underground salt mine museum that also houses an amusement park. After descending quite a few steps, you take an elevator all the way down. Science fiction feeling guaranteed! A Batman episode was supposed to be filmed here, but it couldn't be realized because of the unsuitable size of the Batmobile.
A typical day:
It would be nice if you could create a portfolio with printed pictures about you that you can then hand out to the children while you tell them about your life story, your country and your culture, etc. School usually starts at 8 am and never ends later than 2:30 pm. During this time, you will work at the school. You will also have to prepare the lessons, which should normally take one to two hours per day.
