Feuilleton Romania
We try to accomplish a building side of public utility and we attempt to work with the youth again. In this case it is our aim to explicate our knowledge and the work experience in various trades especially to young Romanians, to account for learning a trade to them. In what way this will happen certainly is up to you too.
In the last couple of years the kind of representing our trades in the course of a demonstration workshop to the people succeed pretty well. Naturally we hope that as much as possible different trades find their way to Sibiu, to arrange this part in a fascinating way.
We`re well endowed with wood, stone and metal tools. But for special trades as wood carvers, tailors and so on, we have to establish a workshop together and that`s why it is important, that you contact us as soon as possible. Specially we would be happy about metal workers, because without a blacksmith our smith`s heart and the anvil feel lonesome, unfortunately. Therefore come along!
Beside the demonstration workshop we will have an exhibition, in which we introduce the traditional walk, the various travelling trades, the different journeymen societies and our activities as an association in Romania to the people.
In addition to the distinct projects there will be enough time to discover Romania. At excursions into the heartland you will meet the cordial and remain unsettled rural population. Even if you go by train or hitch-hike with an horse-drawn carriage it will be an amusing small adventure. Also a lot of festivals happen in summertime. We guarantee there is something to find for everyone of you in Romania.
One week before the project starts, on june 26th/27th some journeymen will meet four Compagnon-Itinerants in Toulouse, to hit the road to Sibiu together. ( For it 1-2 journeymen are still missing.)
The adress is:
65, route de Revel
31400 Toulouse
Tel.: 05 62 71 58 91
For one week we are going to travel from France to Romania, which will be an unforgotten experience for every participant.
Come to Sibiu!
The more there are the more is happening.
We remain with companionable salutation and handshake
If there are any questions please contact us.
