Over 30 students from 14 countries – Austria, Belgium, South Korea, Croatia, Switzerland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Slovenia, Serbia, Spain, US and Turkey – are attending the Romanian language, culture and civilization courses organized by the Romanian Cultural Institute (ICR) in Brasov until August 2.
Reaching its 15th edition, the program is organized in partnership with the Language Faculty of the ‘Transylvania’ University in Brasov (the place where the courses are taking place), the ‘Casa Muresenilor’ Museum, the ‘Corona’ Local Initiative Group and the ‘George Baritiu’ County Library.
