Thanks to the project – “Strengthening Moldova’s social cohesion and resilience to the Ukrainian refugee crisis” with the support of Solidarities International, the fourth round of the “Summer Challenge” camp in the Adam Mickiewicz Library has ended.

New friendships, new challenges, emotions, discussions, unforgettable memories, new places discovered, information, surprises and of course a lot of smiles – these are the notions that describe the 4th tour of the camp “Summer Challenge – 2023”.

But the children were most impressed by the visit to the Bakery in Bardar.

Here they discovered how to prepare the dough for different bakes, how to shape it and how to obtain the tastiest and most aromatic bread.

The highlight of the trip was when the children were challenged to weave a loaf and a hulubas themselves.

Of course, the visit ended with a tasting of the most delicious products from the Bradăr Bakery.

No less beautiful and interesting was the meeting with the poet Grigore Gacikevici and the dicussion of the most interesting poems about animals.

The children were also involved in different trainings, one of which would be :

Also a lot of pleasure and curiosity brought to the children outdoor games, music classes, English classes, reading tour: Read at least 20 minutes/day, discussions with psychologists from INTERSOS Moldova: “Providing psychological support to improve interpersonal relationships”,

Likewise, the children were gladly involved in the Scholar Contests:

  • Thematic discussion: Plants in the park “Stefan cel Mare cel Mare e Sfânt”;
