Cherished project of ROMPRO, the school follows the mission, vision, and goals of the Foundation and carries its legal and administrative activity under the auspices of the Foundation.
Based on an interactive and dynamic educational concept, the school provides a varied curriculum coordinated by Romanian teachers specialized in Romanian language, culture, arts, drama, music, and dance.
With our workshops and dedicated teachers we offer participants a way to gain in-depth knowledge about the Romanian language and essential elements of the Romanian culture and customs.
Launched on November 13, 2016, the Romanian School Amsterdam is mainly targeted at the Romanian and Moldavian community living in Amsterdam and the surrounding region and, through the Romanian language workshop for adults , it's also targeted at participants of other nationalities.
Both children and parents are welcome to join in. The school is a great opportunity to make new friends, network, and cooperate on projects.
By enrolling and taking part in our courses, children get to improve their mother tongue, to develop the ability to write and speak in Romanian, and to learn about the Romanian culture and traditions. To celebrate traditional Romanian holidays we organize events, contests, and themed exhibitions. The stars, artists, and creators of these events will be the children.

We are very happy for our children and for you, the organizers! We've been waiting for you for years! Good luck and grow big!
Congratulations for how the first module went! Thank you for your effort and let's grow nicely together!

As a member of the council of directors at the ROMPRO Foundation, Ana-Maria has been involved with great passion and efficiency in establishing and administering the Romanian School Amsterdam.
A mother of two, who's daughters study at the Amsterdam Conservatory and have often been involved in social events, Ana-Maria has been looking for the opportunity to help Romanian children for a while. Together with her daughters and their friends, they organized the first bake sale at the Amsterdam International Community School on the 1st of july 2016, whose success gave rise to the first financing for the Romanian School Amsterdam.
Cătălina studied Sociology and Economics in Bucharest. Professionally, she has experience managing projects for a large corporation in Bucharest. She lives in The Netherlands since 2012, where she is raising her daughter and writes about her passions on her blog. She loves reading, watching movies, and exploring Amsterdam and its surroundings. She holds Romania close to her heart while trying, at the same time, to learn as much as possible about the culture and history of The Netherlands. She is extremely motivated to participate in the creation and proper functioning of the Romanian School, both for her daughter's harmonious development, as well as a balanced personal life on an identity level.
Eliza studied photography, with a specialization in French. She has been living in Leiden since 2008, where she raises her children and where she undertakes a number of educational projects. She has taught French at the Vrijschool Mareland in Leiden, she has organizedand coordinated several creative activities within the Leidse Hout school, speeltuin Vereningen Maredijk.
Now, Eliza coordinates and teaches the Romanian language and culture workshop (for ages 3.5 - 6+ years) at the Romanian School in The Hague.
Since her arrival in The Netherlands she has pondered the idea of a Romanian school, an intercultural space to builds a bridge between Romanian and Dutch cultures, an oasis where Romanian parents and their children can have a sense of belonging to a culture and a community.
In Romania, Raluca studied and practiced theatre professionally. She has a Master in advanced theatre, cultural management, and pedagogy from The National University of Theatre and Film "I. L. Caragiale" in Bucharest.
In 2015, she graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, practicing plastic art, performance, and video, and she continues working as a visual artist.

She has taught the Romanian language and literature in Romanian middle schools for 13 years, during which she obtained the Didactic Degree I.
She is married to Peter Oprea, named the Orthodox priest of the Romanian community in Amsterdam. Together they have a daughter aged 11.
Out of her love for education, maintenance of ancestral values, and the Romanian language, she wishes to be involved in this project that offers her the opportunity to teach Romanian to the children of the diaspora. Her language course is addressed to children, with the goal of learning and deepening knowledge of the Romanian language and culture, as well as the spiritual values of our people.
Gia graduated from the University of Bucharest, Department of Linguistics, with a specialization in French and Romanian. She has international teaching experience.

The "Play, Personal Development, and Photography" workshop will alternate as follows: one lesson will be dedicated to "Play and Personal Development", while the following week will be dedicated to "Photography".

We live in a world in which technology is an inescapable aspect of our daily lives. Most children have access to smartphones with cameras. Many of them, already from a young age, find themselves attracted to their parents' cameras, trying, on one hand, to imitate them, and on the other, to follow their curiosity regarding technology, unconsciously choosing this as a medium of self-expression.
What is interesting, however, is the children's perspective and the way in which they see the world. Their imagination and their intuition is most often innocent, yet also very interesting. You will discover that they see the world very differently from adults. Which is only natural.
On the other hand, the imagination of some children can be sparked further through the medium of photography, thereby discovering unique ways to explore and understand the world around them.
Alongside this, using technical and conceptual skills, as well as learning how to use and handle a camera, they can evaluate the way in which they express themselves through photography.
This course aims to spark the appetite for photography in children, first by presenting several elementary technical functions of a camera so they understand how it works. Then, they will understand that taking photos isn't arbitrary, but that they can make choices based on perspective. Later, the children will be given freedom to explore and discover which type of photography they would like to experiment with.
It is important for every child to have their own small digital camera such that this other way of playing can start.
Objectives:
This course aims to be recreational, entertaining, and relaxational. Together we will learn how to play games a little differently.
The game helps solve many problems we often face in relation to school, all sorts of educational activities, or our personal lives.
The game itself consists of a little equation. It connects intuition with the subconscious, contributing, in a surprising way, to the resolution of a situation. Simultaneously, the game trains the body and mind, making us aware of our limits and how we can confront or overcome them, but also how vast our capacities are, supporting a harmonious development of our qualities.
Benefits:
Methods:
This workshop is based, for the most part, on improv exercises inspired from theatre but also on other applications pertinent to other forms of expression, such as general culture, visual arts, dance, and singing.
The teaching methods vary based on the ages of participants and their preparation, but as a starting point and framework, Viola Spolin's theatrical improv method and elements from viewpoints This American method was inspired by contemporary dance and aids in the structuring of thoughts, speech, and movement.
To begin, children will learn through improv to become conscious of their own feelings and analyze their source, becoming capable of gesticulating their emotions, speech, and behavior. Then, using these new abilities, they will engage in storytelling, studying texts in Romanian and beyond (poems, stories, scenes, songs), further gaining an awareness of their feelings and emotions, reaching a higher level of physical and mental training through the activity.

ike a game, traditional Romanian dance is a complex activity which involves both body and mind. It can be performed by professional dancers, but also by amateurs, with one condition: the passion for tradition, accompanied by the desire to discover and know it.
Traditional Romanian dance can be performed individually or in a group, in a circle or in a line, or in pairs of two, three, or more.
All folkloric dances, despite their many differences, share an exciting music and rhythm, expressing the happiness and passion for a good time of each dancer, big or small.
By learning traditional Romanian dance, children will discover the magic of folkloric dance and of national identity, a medium full of music and harmony, a world filled with rituals, habits, and traditional symbols.
Even if this is their first experience, children will progress step by step from the music's rhythm, to the basic steps, and then to more complex choreography. Each folkloric dance is repeated over the course of the lessons, in order for children to become capable of correctly performing every move and choreography.
