WINTER DECORATIONS AT PIATRA NEAMT

,,ASSOCIATION FOR SCIENCE , CULTURE , YOUTH AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION" organized Thursday , December 16 in partnership with ,,Gheorghe Cartianu" Technical College an workshop dedicated to Christmas celebration .

Objectives :
-To refresh popular winter traditions from the North of Moldavia.
-To learn to use wasted materials for creativity development and for environment protection .
-To learn new techniques of garden decoration .
-To celebrate Winter in a beautiful way and make our activity funny and interesting for the boys too.

The workshop was animated by 2 trainers .

During the workshop a group of young boys created winter garden decorations .

The traditional masks from Romania are always satiric figures.

Usually they are representing Romanian village characters but now the boys represented characters from their life in the society of a modern town .

The masks are made from little pieces of waste leather from the fur industry.
The boys used chips from the lathe machining of metals like copper and stainless steel to make their decorations more glamorous .
