Romania:
I. Description of school:

School nr. 2 Independenta is located in the southeast of Romania close to the border of Moldova. Independenta is a large village, with a population of about 4700.
Most people are working in agriculture and in steel industry. Most of them are very busy with their work and have little time for their children.
The school has approximately 200 pupils, ages 6-15, 93 pupils in primary school, and 22 teachers. The area is very poor in terms of culture, so it does not offer pupils ways of personal development.
There are pupils in school who have difficulty adapting to school life: learning disorders, misbehaviour, school absenteeism and school dropout.
The last years adults have started to work in countries in Western Europe and leave their children with their grandparents.
These children have poor learning results and special needs caused by a lack of emotional support and parental control.

II. Role in the project:

The school is a partner school in the project. In addition to exchanging methods and good practice, the school is responsible for the newsletters in the project.
