After more than one year of thinking that we should update our NGO pdf presentation, we finally decided to make a website instead. It’s a more dynamic way to present information, we can show you pictures of what we have done (oh, we really used that opportunity :D), you can easily find what you’re looking for.

This comes in an effort to better structure our activities so that they are clear for us and they are clear for you. We decided to revive revistadepovestiri.ro, turning the website of the short stories magazine we published from March 2012 until July 2013 into an online short stories magazine. Many people had the impression that it was an online magazine anyway, so why go against that. We also decided to separate the creative workshops we organize from the magazine, and put them in a new space, revdepov.ro. Lots of websites this summer, what can we say!

We really had a good summer. We went to the seaside at Vama Veche in June, with the creative writing workshop where Marius Chivu challenges new writers to experiment, we were in Cluj, at Transilvania International Film Festival where we saw mostly Norwegian movies (Out of Nature was particularly funny), we had some ideas for new workshops, we read books, we looked for shelter from the heat on lovely terraces, with friends.

We attended concerts and festivals, Pakivalo would be worth mentioning here. It’s a festival that celebrates solidarity, created in the memory of Nicolae Gheorghe, a Roma researcher in sociology that studied Roma communities in Romania in the 70s and 80s and promoted solidarity among and with the Roma people. He believed in the role non profits can play in building a more tolerant and inclusive society. More about him here.

We still have some summer days left and we plan on enjoying them at Vama Veche (again!) and, in general, spending more time off-line, like we used to when we were kids.
