Concerts, composers' talk, book launch and film: 29 June at 7.30pm & 6 July at 7.00pm

Be not afeard: the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight,
and hurt not.
The Tempest, Shakespeare.

The London Schubert Players welcome you to the mysterious sounds of their next journeys:
- the magical musical world of Ravel and Faure
- the film-like music of the Jewish-Ethiopian story which brought many international awards to Radu Mihaileanu's film Va, vis et deviens
- a meditation by a Serbo-Croat composer on Japanese poet Basho
- the colourful and delightful rhythms of Venezuelan and Romanian dances
- the poetical paths of Heine, Baudelaire and Tennyson put to music by composers Silvestri, Cashian and Nickol.



The two events are part of Invitation to Composers international project, which has enriched Europe’s cultural heritage in 2010 and 2011 with 40 valuable works inspired by music, literature, visual arts, history and nature. It is building bridges between great traditions of music of the past and contemporary thought, without the use of electronics and non-musical experiments. It was one of 87 projects selected by the European Commission out of 298 for its recent cultural programmes. It has caught the interest, imagination and admiration of over 100 professional composers and 80 performers worldwide, the composition department of London’s Royal Academy of Music, record distributors, festival directors and music lovers.

The book to be launched contains the Bournemouth Symphony players' impressions about the legendary Romanian conductor Constantin Silvestri; and the unique film, shown publicly in Britain for the first time on July 6th, a tremendous performance of Silvestri conducting the French National Radio Orchestra in Liszt's poem Tasso and Silvestri's own work Prelude and Fugue (Toccata).



We want to share these journeys, entrance is free and a glass of wine will be waiting for you!

See you soon,
Yours in Music,
Anda and the London Schubert Players

“Diaspora românească şi fondurile europene”

“Diaspora românească şi fondurile europene”
Bucureşti, 14.06.2011

“Sute de români din străinătate se întorc acasă pentru a demara proiecte finanţate de Uniunea Europeană. Deja avem un număr important de conaţionali din Italia, Spania, Marea Britanie şi Grecia, care au depus proiecte câştigătoare şi beneficiază de fondurile europene. În calitate de preşedinte PDL Diaspora am solicitat, ministerelor de resort, trimiterea de specialişti la misiunile României din străinătate, pentru organizarea unor sesiuni informative dedicate cetăţenilor români, în vederea familiarizării acestora cu situaţia proiectelor şi a sumelor pe care le pot accesa. În acest fel atingem două puncte importante: pe de o parte repatrierea românilor, proiect la care lucrez din 2008 şi pe de altă parte crearea de noi locuri de muncă, prin implementarea proiectelor cu bani europeni" a declarat William Brînză, preşedintele PDL Diaspora, în cadrul primei conferinţe organizate pe tema fondurilor europene accesate de românii din străinătate.
Evenimentul, condus de preşedintele PDL Diaspora, William Brînză, a avut loc la sediul PDL Diaspora şi a reunit specialişti din Ministerul Dezvoltării, membrii Biroului Permanent Diaspora şi reprezentanţi mass-media.
În cadrul dezbaterilor, reprezentanţii Ministerului Dezvoltării au anunţat că perioadă de programare 2014-2020 prevede o alocare importantă pentru îmbunătăţirea, din punct de vedere social, a regiunilor mai puţin dezvoltate. De asemenea programele axate pe cooperarea transfrontalieră, cu accent pe integrarea rromilor, beneficiază de o atenţie specială.
În cadrul conferinţei, Preşedintele PDL Diaspora, William Brînză, a prezentat şi proiectul "infochioşcurile" la care lucrează încă de pe timpul mandatului ministrului Ioan Botiş, reluându-l astăzi cu noul ministru al Muncii, Sebastian Lăzăroiu. Potrivit deputatului Brînză, "infochioşcurile" reprezintă un proiect de anvergură prin intermediul căruia românii din afara graniţelor ţării vor avea acces gratuit la informaţiile de interes public.
“Pentru început, proiectul va fi implementat în Spania, Italia şi Franţa, infochioşcurile urmând a fi amplasate în zona de proximitate a misiunilor diplomatice ale României din străinătate. El va demera cel mai târziu în această toamnă şi va oferi informaţii din legislaţia muncii, informaţii importante pentru că românii să işi găsească mai uşor un loc de muncă în străinătate, dar si pentru ca aceştia să-şi cunoască drepturile şi obligaţiile, pe care le au în statul adoptiv", a declarat preşedintele PDL Diaspora William Brînză.

Dar


Durerea striga in nestire
caci Adevarul s-a luat la harta
cu Omenirea dusa in ispita
pe-ntunecatele carari.

Caci ne-au cazut si pleoapele si gandul
Cand plansului-i venise randul
S-adune povara stransa pe comori
S-o curga in sirurile de cocori.


Cati ingeri s-au nascut pe cale
De nu ajunsera nici aripi, nici ninsoare
sa stinga flacara aprinsa cu Neindurare
de-atata Neputinta , Ura, Inselare?


De-atata plans si ganduri ferecate
De-al meu si-al tau si al Durerii
Pe marea de lacrimi adunate
Din cer ploua marunt si bland

Cu Pace si Mister.

Comunicat de Presa Departamentul pentru Romanii de Pretutindeni

CURS DE LIMBA ROMÂNĂ ONLINE



Departamentul pentru Românii de Pretutindeni lansează programul „Curs de Limba Română”, cu scopul de a promova studiul limbii române în comunităţile româneşti de peste hotare.

Proiectul prezintă un caracter inedit, numărându-se printre puţinele resurse electronice disponibile care permit accesarea şi parcurgerea gratuită a unor module de studiu a limbii române.

Cursul se adresează românilor aflaţi în afara graniţelor care vorbesc limba română, însă nu au studiat într-o instituţie de învăţământ cu predare în limba română, precum şi celor care doresc să dobândească şi să îşi perfecţioneze cunoştinţele gramaticale şi de lexic.

Portalul vizează stimularea capacităţii de înţelegere, de dialog şi de asimilare a unei pronunţii corecte în limba română, fiind structurat în 3 module şi 30 de lecţii, formulate în funcţie de gradul de dificultate abordat. Cursul nu necesită cunoştinţe avansate de folosire a computerului, iar exerciţiile şi textele sunt însoţite de materiale audio şi ilustraţii care facilitează parcurgerea lor.

Acest portal poate reprezenta un instrument util atât pentru studiul individual, cât şi în cadrul orelor de limba şi literatura română.

Accesarea lecţiilor şi a modulelor este gratuită şi se poate face direct de pe pagina de index a Departamentului pentru Românii de Pretutindeni sau introducând adresa http://www.dprp.gov.ro/elearning/.

Invităm presa de limba română şi mediul asociativ românesc din întreaga lume să susţină mediatizarea acestui portal ce are drept scop promovarea limbii române peste hotare.

Cursul de Limba Română a fost realizat cu sprijinul DRP, în cadrul unui proiect propus de Liga pentru Utilitate Publică.

Improving family policy across Member States: Hearing discusses problem of ageing population

The EESC has conducted a hearing on 'The role of family policy in demographic change: Sharing best practice among Member States'. Held on March 21, this meeting consulted a range of perspectives from a number of stakeholders on family matters, with a view to improving and sharing practices between Member States. The hearing was organised at the request of the Hungarian Presidency, to target the problem of how to give tangible recognition to the substantial contribution that families make to society.



In his opening address, Staffan Nilsson, EESC President said: "Europe must set an example in matters of intergenerational equity and solidarity and the problem of ageing population is both a challenge and an opportunity for Europe".



The hearing was chaired by Luca Jahier, President of the EESC Various Interests' Group and included presentations from Miklós Soltész, Hungarian Minister of State for Social, Family and Youth Affairs and Anna Záborská, Chair of the Intergroup on Family, Protection of Childhood and Solidarity between the Generations. There were also contributions from experts, contrasting the experience of different Member States.



According to the EESC, the social and economic benefits of the family should be appreciated. Insufficient support for families could result in a substantial increase in costs, especially in terms of welfare services.



Demographic challenges need to be quickly tackled by providing incentives to work and viewing older people as an asset rather than a burden. The Committee is also committed to looking ahead and is already working with the future Polish presidency on demography and the labour market. Furthermore, it intends to support the idea of proclaiming 2014 as a European Year for families.



The Hungarian Presidency took the chance of this hearing to launch at EU level its thematic week "Europe for families, Families for Europe" which will be organised next week in Budapest and which will be concluded by an Informal Council of Ministers for family, to which the Committee will present the results of the hearing and its own contribution.

Organised civil society to have a strong say in food security policy at European and global level

The President of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has called on agriculture ministers from Europe and elsewhere in the world to involve civil society players in discussions on trade and global food security. During the International Agriculture Ministers’ Panel discussions in Berlin last Saturday, President Nilsson stressed the need to involve farmers, consumers, and other civil society stakeholders in discussions geared to finding sustainable solutions to food security.

At the International Agriculture Ministers’ Panel Discussions held during the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture in Berlin (20-22 January 2011), EESC President Nilsson urged ministers to work to successfully complete the Doha Development Round under the WTO, to improve market access for developing countries, and to step up production capacities.

“The typical farmer in the world is a woman” concluded President Nilsson, addressing a top-ranking ministerial panel comprising, inter alia, Pascal Lamy, Director of the World Trade Organization, Ilse Aigner, German Federal Minister for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection Dacian Cioloş, European Commissioner for Agriculture, and Bruno Le Maire, French Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries.

Food secu rity is one of the main planks of the EESC President’s programme. The EESC will be actively involved in European and global debates on food secu rity in 2011, and will work closely on this issue with the French Presidency of G8/G20.
