Description of Our Community: Our local community is located in Romania a Central European Country. Situated in the center of the depression with the same name, at an altitude of 360-380 m, Radauti has established its hearth in the confluence angle of Suceava with Sucevita. The oldest certification documentary of Radauti dates from 1413, in a document of Alexander The Kind. At the middle of XIV century, there was already a flourishing settlement here, so that Bogdan I (1359-1365) decided to build at Radauti the main church of the country, which became the center of a bishops. It has about 25000 citizens of different ethnicities, religions, cultures and political ideas. This region has been under many occupations, therefore these regions left a mark over these places. Not to be forgotten is the region where we live in: Bukovina. This region has its location in 3 countries: Romania, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova. Even so, this region is a like a whole and we have all bonded with each other.

Project Description: Education is the consequence of attempting to express the immense beauty our world. Beauty cannot be expressed in words, they are insufficient - beauty can only be understood by the soul and as such we must seek for the most perfect of spirits to capture the essence of what is beautiful and celebrate it in art. The tangible harmony between my people and our home is a strong bond of education through music and stories of old. The highest forms of knowledge, that we yet still have through the lessons and trials of our ancestors, is slowly being lost and I believe it is important for one that calls himself educated and speaks of our Moldavan culture to commemorate the very fragile, yet firmly grasping, charm that remains in our music, as little as it does. The said beauty and artistry of our connection to nature through sound can only be celebrated if first we understand the very sentiments that gave birth to this form of education and try to seek reason as to why we managed to lose it, so that we may never lose it again.
