2024 is soon passing its first quarter and we have already had a lot of activity in each project. So many events, we haven't even had a chance to tell you what an eventful year 2023 has been! Hundreds of Romanians came to the already traditional Romanian events in the Netherlands: the Universal Day of the King of Romania and the National Day of Romania...
The year 2023 was a year full of beautiful events at the Dutch Romanian Library! We remind you of some of them below. BiebROțeilor Workshop In January 2023 we resumed the weekly online meetings of the BiebROțeilor Workshop. The workshops had two modules: a spring-summer one from 31 January to 6 June and an autumn-winter one from 14 September to 21 December....
Today, we invite you to travel back in time together to the year 2023 to look back and reflect on the work of the Romanian School Amsterdam. We were again present, Saturday after Saturday, at our beloved workshops, which we have been organising with great dedication and love for children for 7 years now. In the year 2023 we...
What did 2022 mean for ROMPRO? We enjoyed returning to physical events where we gathered in numbers and reconnected after months of pandemonium. We celebrated Easter Day together in a wonderful atmosphere in the St. Nicolaaslyceum hall in Amsterdam, followed by a picnic with traditional Romanian products and games for children. Everyone had the chance to proudly wear the...
2022 was an interesting year for the social department. It started with a change in the coordination of the department and a change in strategy. Whereas until this year the department had been almost exclusively focused on helping individual cases, 2022 saw a shift towards an approach that aims to inform the community about aspects of life in the Netherlands....
2022 has been the most ambitious year since the opening of the Dutch Romanian Library so far, both online and physically. Throughout the year we held weekly live meetings on Facebook BiebRO Mondays where we presented new books by Romanian authors, promoted literary events that took place in the Netherlands but...

I don't remember exactly when I started hearing jokes around me about other sexual orientations. It seems like several lifetimes have passed since then. I only know that we "suspected" and "made fun" of colleagues or friends and didn't dare discuss anything about it with them. And they probably didn't dare to tell us anything, that is.
The Romanian Library of the Netherlands together with the Romanian Embassy in the Kingdom of the Netherlands are pleased to invite you to a unique event: a meeting with the Romanian author Dana Grigorcea. Dana Grigorcea debuted in 2002 in Romanian literature with short prose: a travel diary from the Holy Land. She studied German and Dutch at the Faculty of Foreign Languages in...
"Thoughts on the anniversary of the Foundation", message from Cătălina Negru, one of the founders of ROMPRO Today is a double celebration: it is 7 years since we started the first "Romanians for Romanians" activities and 6 years since the legal establishment of ROMPRO Foundation. For me personally these 7 years are very important, being the period in which I chose to get actively involved for the creation of a...
Despite a difficult, challenging 2021, in which we had to adapt quickly to many changes coming our way, we ended ROMPRO's sixth year with very good results. A year in which we evolved together. Below you can see some of our activities. You can find the financial reports by year on the about us page. Interconnections...
2021 was another "different" year with too few physical meetings for our liking, but that didn't stop us from organising a number of online meetings and events. On 4 January 2021 we resumed the BiebRO Mondays series, with a slightly changed format as we introduced recurring guests. The BiebRO Kids Club coordinator was invited at the beginning...
