EDUCATIONAL PROJECT - "Following a great teacher" Motto: "If I were to choose again ..., I would become teacher again." (Ion Pop Reteganul) PROJECT ARGUMENT We cannot appreciate something if we do not know it quite well. For this reason it is necessary that young people know the specific locality where they live and to discover similarities and differences with other places. The proposed activities are to develop students' interest in local culture and civilization, discover the diversity and values for all seasons. Also, it is to find good models of teachers and tradition of good education. Why "Following a great teacher"? It is to be observed the teacher's role is often minimized or forgotten nowadays, and his status is no longer viewed as that of a real model. Also, because some have lost their enthusiasm, while the real teacher doesn`t give up no matter how difficult his way is. Its sublime is to save civilization from the turn of centuries of confusion and postmodernism. It is a call to knowledge of a remarkable personality in Transylvania, a school and the idea of a spiritual relationship with localities in other schools and other places of historical and cultural heritage like. PROJECT DURATION: 2011 -2013 extendable Place: School "Ion Pop Reteganul" - Reteag, BN as well as in other localities, linked by the name of one teacher.Also, in twinning schools, spiritually related schools in other countries with comparable historical and cultural heritage. Ion Pop-Reteganul (1853-1905) was an educator, writer, publicist and folklorist, representative of his time and remained in the history of Romanian folklore as "the biggest collector of folklore from Transylvania" (Ion Muslea).
