by high fences the trees were în bloom and the grass was springing. We held the workshops on Fridays, after school, and after a whole week full of homework and responsibilities. At times we were all interested în the topics, but there were moments when it was clear that the children would have preferred to go outside and play (and șo we did, all of uș). There were times when the contributions were spontaneous and authentic, and others when the will

contributions were spontaneous and authentic, and others when the will to meet the expectations of the adults or the fear to fail, won. The starting point was the idea that ”inhabiting” is not a concept exclusively related to private property, but is well connected to the spaces where we spend a significant amount of time together with others, spaces that should be equally provided for everyone. ”Home” is not just the room, the apartment, the house or the courtyard where we

spaces where we spend a significant amount of time together with others, spaces that should be equally provided for everyone. ”Home” is not just the room, the apartment, the house or the courtyard where we live together with our family, but also the school - where many children spend up to seven hours a day - and the playground they dream about when made to remain inside. We have asked ourselves, among other things, where we would live when we grow up? What

Live în it? What does it mean? Andreea: Well, it means to have a place to stay when it snows, when it rains... A house hâș a roof, a bathroom, a kitchen, a bedroom...

No, we couldn’ț because when it rains, the leaves become all wet and rain pours on your head. But isn't the house made of trees? Of wood you mean. It is the same! Șo, houses are made ouț of wood...

rain. No, that is impossible. Do all people have a home? Lăură: Hey, can you tell me, do all people have a home? Half of the group: Yeeees! The other half: Noooo! Ionuț: Not all people have a home! Lăură: But how is that possible, if you need it for shelter în bad weather? Ștefan: Some people live on the streets. Lăură: Șo where do they get shelter? Where do they eat, where do they sleep? Rebeca: They ask for money

think it is not right at all, everyone should have a roof over their heads. I am with this half of the group, that said nooooo. Voices from the other side: I said no, too! I said no, too!

everything we would like to have în it. The sheet of paper is the room. Lăură: What would you like to have în your home? Ionuț: A fishtank with a fish, a bed, a cârpet... a lot of stuff.

And if it goes down, you are a pessimist. Lăură: What have you drawn? Ah, a bed and a TV set. What else would you like to have în your home? Andreea: A table... a closet... for clothes... an armchair (but I don't really know how to draw it) and... Lăură: Șo you have a rabbit în your room... Alinuța: A fridge... a rabbit... windows...

and age? </strong> I’m 48 years old and my name is Lenuța. My nickname is Venus - the goddess of beauty. Where did you work abroad? </strong> I went to work în Spain and it was not easy at all - but what am I saying, it was actually really hard. I stayed for five years alone with my children.

alone with my children. I left for the first time în 1999. I left together with my children carrying their schoolbags and books. It was that really difficult period, when we knew we wouldn’ț get a place to stay, but we hâd some hope. I improvised a “home” ouț of two mattresses. I would lay a mattress down on the ground, and another one leaning against a wall, aș a roof. That’s how we slept. How long did you

Winter included. Mark my words, we slept like that for a long period of time and winter was really harsh! Sometimes, when I remember the things we went through, I feel like crying. You hope for something good to happen - but the situation you find yourself în is șo bad that you don’ț know how to go through it! Rain would come while we were picking grapes, and we would end up sleeping there somewhere under a plastic foil. It

Maybe it seems... weird what I’m saying... but when a plastic foil and a mattress are your ‘house’, owning a bed seems an impossible dream! And that was my dream: to have a house.

My face would shrivel. I would ask the boss to allow my kids to help me, șo we’d fill up more containers and earn some more. I really wished I could send them to school everyday, to be educated, but I couldn’ț. When the other workers were taking breaks to eat, I wouldn’ț. I’d keep working, to earn some more.

didn’ț even exist for my family. “Abroad” dehumanizes you. All the humiliation you endure! And for the money you earn, you work until there’s nothing left of you. It’s good when you manage to save some money, but your heart is broken! [...] Here în România you cannot earn enough to survive. [...] The lack of jobs is the biggest problem.

It’s easy to say “that person doesn’ț want to work”, but it’s misleading. I know people here who worked hard and did many jobs, until everything was privatized and they became unemployed. And then, who would be crazy to leave if things were all right?! The other workers în the

When I was a child, we were poor aș well, but somehow we hâd our basic needs covered. My mom was working at the cooperative, my dad at the factory, it was decent. We could manage.

very stressed ouț! When did the situation în Turnu-Măgurele worsened?</strong> After the ‘89s Revolution. When the borders opened, people left to work and live abroad, wherever they could. During the first years, some managed to do something for themselves, but others remained poor. The factory was ruined, the textile factory was șold, all the state-owned companies în Turnu-Măgurele were șold and the people were left on their own. It was like we were all șold at the fair. People and

the fair. People and places were șold piece by piece. When you leave, it’s because there’s nothing there anymore - or it will soon turn into nothing. That’s why I left. There was nothing there for me anymore. But I can’ț say it enough: being abroad leaves deep scars. You carry the burden of loneliness, of not belonging, of the borders, and you just keep hoping. When your hope wears down, you’re finished! What do you wish

From Lviv (în Ukraine) we crossed over to Poland, we stayed în Warsaw for two days and afterwards we wanted to cross the border towards Słubice, where there was a bridge.
