Sinopsis: This video will be about Via Transilvanica, the newest sustainable tourism national project in Romania. It brings together 7 regions in Romania, relevant for their ethnic, cultural, historical values, landscapes etc. There are many UNESCO sites along this path, so the idea is to raise awareness and contribute to the sustainability of the project. Our students lead a service-learning project supporting Tasuleasa Social initiative, while developing the value of volunteering, active citizenship and building partnerships at national and international level.
The team is commended for keeping to the brief and providing a clear message on the theme. The school and team will be contacted by ISA, which will present a certificate and the prize money.
