Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
From April 26 to May 1, 2026, the\u00a0RTIS Network<\/strong>\u00a0(Greece), together with the\u00a04th Lyceum of Alimos<\/strong>, participated in the third transnational mobility of the Erasmus+ project\u00a0@ARTisGReen<\/strong>. The meeting was hosted by the leading partner,\u00a0Liceul de Arte Corneliu Baba<\/strong>, in the historic city of Bistri\u021ba, Romania. This report provides a comprehensive overview of the six\u2011day programme, highlighting the educational activities, cultural exchanges, creative outputs, and the lasting impact of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Greek delegation departed from Athens\u2019 Eleftherios Venizelos Airport, flying to Cluj, Romania, and then travelling by road to Bistri\u021ba. Upon arrival, Erasmus+ coordinators welcomed the group and escorted them to the hotel. After a briefing about the city and the programme, participants enjoyed a free day to explore Bistri\u021ba, have lunch, and rest. The evening included a short stroll through the city before returning to the hotel at 10:00 p.m. to prepare for the week ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first official programme day began at the art school in Bistri\u021ba with a warm welcome that included a dance performance by students from all participating countries. Partner schools presented themselves, and students were divided into mixed international groups. The delegation visited the City Hall, where the deputy mayor greeted them and showed a video about the city. After lunch at the school cafeteria, teachers enjoyed a guided historical tour of Bistri\u021ba led by a local history teacher, while students participated in a scavenger hunt to discover the city. The day concluded with a get\u2011together dinner for teachers featuring live traditional music, and a separate student gathering for food and fun. Everyone returned to the hotel at 10:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The day focused on hands\u2011on creativity and sustainability. Students designed and decorated personalised mugs, which would be used throughout the week as part of the programme\u2019s environmental awareness initiatives. Meanwhile, teachers toured the school\u2019s facilities and workshops. Subsequently, students worked in four thematic workshops:<\/p>\n\n\n\n After lunch, selected students practised their catwalk as models for the upcoming fashion show. The evening featured an international party where participants shared traditional foods, music, and dances from all six countries. The day ended with a restful return to the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teachers attended a lesson on the art of mosaics and took part in a hands\u2011on workshop, creating mosaic designs inspired by the map of Europe and the participating countries. The group then visited the school library, observing student projects that included completed solar\u2011powered furniture and pillows made from recycled old fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the afternoon, an educational excursion took the delegation to the villages of Herina, Teaca, and Po\u0219mu\u0219<\/strong> in the wider Transylvania region. Participants visited historically significant churches, enjoyed the natural landscape, and were warmly received at a local winery, where they learned about the wine\u2011making process and walked through the vineyards. The day concluded with a visit to the historic castle of Po\u0219mu\u0219 and a tasting of local dairy products, cold cuts, wines, and pumpkin\u2011based products. The group returned to the hotel around 8:00 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The fifth day was the project\u2019s peak public event. In the morning, students wrote impressions in their project journals and took on roles to prepare for the afternoon event at the Bistri\u021ba Museum<\/strong>. They organised and transported items, then set up the fashion show runway and an exhibition of creations made from recycled materials. Meanwhile, teachers collaborated and exchanged views, while a teacher from the rehabilitation workshop painted portraits of colleagues from all countries, creating a warm and artistic atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the evening, around 6:00 p.m., the event took place at the museum. It was an outstanding success, featuring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The event left a lasting impression on all participants and highlighted the project\u2019s contribution to education for sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final day coincided with May Day. The group travelled to Lake Colibi\u021ba<\/strong>, a natural gem near Bistri\u021ba. En route, they stopped at breathtaking viewpoints and visited the lake\u2019s dam. A unique experience followed: a tour on a solar\u2011powered boat<\/strong>, gliding silently across the crystal\u2011clear waters \u2013 a perfect symbol of sustainability in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lunch was served at a traditional local tavern, where hosts in authentic Romanian costumes offered a lavish meal with various dishes and desserts. A deeply touching moment occurred when a school teacher presented hand\u2011drawn portraits<\/strong> to the students as mementos of their participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the afternoon, the delegation returned to Bistri\u021ba and joined the municipality\u2019s May Day festivities, which included market stalls and a concert in the town centre in front of the historic church. The programme concluded with excellent impressions and positive feelings<\/strong> from all participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The mobility in Bistri\u021ba has reinforced the core mission of ARTisGReen: to use art as a vehicle for sustainability education, resilience, and social change. Students and teachers returned home with new skills, deepened friendships, and a shared commitment to green innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u039f \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03b1\u03c3\u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03bc\u03cc\u03c2 #AllUnitedforMG next mobility<\/strong> of the ARTisGReen project will be hosted by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Constantin Brancusi State Secondary School of Fine Arts, Poland<\/strong> RTIS Network and the 4th Lyceum of Alimos look forward to continuing this Erasmus+ journey, building on the achievements of the Romanian meeting, and further strengthening the network of European schools dedicated to art, sustainability, and transformational education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find all details at our official socia media at: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/RTISNetwork<\/a> and also at the offical account of the project itself at: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=61582575214688<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n RTIS Network extends its sincere gratitude to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n #ARTisGReen #RTISNetwork #4thLyceumOfAlimos #ErasmusPlus #SchoolProjects #Bistrita #Romania #LiceulDeArteCorneliuBaba #EducationForSustainableDevelopment #ArtAndSustainability #GreenEducation #EcoCreativity #SustainableSchools #TeacherMobility #StudentMobility #CulturalExchange #Networking #Transylvania #LakeColibita #SolarBoat #FashionShow #RecycledMaterials #MosaicArt #Resilience #SocialChange #TransformationalEducation #ErasmusFamily #InternationalCollaboration #PartnershipsMatter #LifelongLearning #NextStopPoland #ConstantinBrancusi #Poland2026 #September2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RTIS Network \u2013 ARTisGReen Romania Mobility (April 26 \u2013 May 1, 2026): RTIS Network \u2013 ARTisGReen Romania Mobility (April 26 \u2013 May 1, 2026): RTIS Network \u2013 ARTisGReen Romania Mobility (April 26 \u2013 May 1, 2026):
