DAY 4: Inaguration of the urban art work

AER SUMMER ACADEMY

MARAMUES, ROMANIA

FRIDAY 10TH OF AUGUST DAY 4

WRAPPING UP THE CONFERENCE

The morning started with a plenarysession where four speakers talked about how the cultural heritage is enhancing the regional attractiveness and ended with a diploma ceremony. We got to see how regions are using their cultural heritage to promote themselves and to attract tourists which was very nice. It reminded me alot from how Visit Sundsvall works in my city.

The closing ceremony that took place after this was lovely and Mathieu, the AER Secretary General held a very nice speach about how he had fallen in love with Romania during the week. He was also very pelased in the way the youth participants had really participated during the week, both in the practical workshops and excursion but also during the sessions.

INAGURATION OF URBAN ART WORK

In the afternoon we took a trip to Baia Mare where there was an inaguration of the urban art work on the Youth House wall. Here Belgian and Romanian artist from a street art network had created art in the celebration of Baia Mare Youth CApital of Romania 2018. It was nice to see artist, politicians and a lot of young people working together for youth influence and street art. These celebrations continued throughout the afternoon and in the city square you could hear amazing young artist on the stage.

And this was the last day here...

The week passed really fast (especially since we missed out of one day). But it was a truly inspiring week where I gained a lot of idéas and knowledge of the importance of this subject to bring back home. Since I (Rebecca) work with young people in my city at a cultural meeting place, and also know that our region has so much to experiences and get to know I am really looking forward to keeping this focus "cultural heirtage" in my work. And never the less in my political mandate.

Now the work starts back home! :)
