listen the voice of women around the world.
As a foreigner, I come across the opportunity to look a bit deeper in another country, another culture, another people, other women. I found that Romanian women from Baia Mare are strong and proud. They believe in equality and can be an example to follow in their determination.
Yet, after this little research, I am still not able to fully understand the complexity of womanhood in Romania, Maramures or Baia Mare, but I am lucky enough of get an approximation. Through very different life stories, I found women who carry on with their own life and help to improve the life of those who surround them.

The first documentary mentioning of Baia Mare city dates back to 29th of May 1329. Centuries have passed ever since and along with them there have been written numerous history pages that remain today as a proof of the rich past of our city.
We invite you to a time incursion towards the 14th-19th Century to discover more about the life of those times inside the citadel. Let yourself be carried by the magic of the old city and wander with your eyes through the street labyrinth created in the scale model.
“Baia Mare is mine” is about (re)connecting with the local cultural, historical and natural patrimony of our city through a series of activities meant to invite the locals and its visitors to a different… discovering.
Acest sondaj a apărut în urma dorinței voluntarilor și a echipei de proiect de a descoperi Baia Mare din perspectiva locuitorilor săi, cu privire la ceea ce le place și ceea ce s-ar putea îmbunătăți în oraș.
Concluzia generală este că adulții și seniorii intervievați sunt majoritatea mulțumiți de ceea ce le oferă orașul și nu consideră neapărat necesare a se duce schimbări esențiale orașului. Cu toate acestea, există bineînțeles loc de îmbunătățiri.
Populația tânără, pe cealaltă parte, este puțin mulțumită de ceea ce le oferă orașul și și-ar dori mai multe oportunități de dezvoltare socio-culturale, educaționale și de muncă potrivite contextului actual.
Să vedem așadar în paginile urămoate părerile celor ce ne-au răspuns la întrebările:
- Ce îți place la Baia Mare?
- Ce lucruri ai îmbunătăți?
- Ce nevoi ai și încă Baia Mare nu ți le poate îndeplini?

Jocul de cărți-trivia „Baia Mare is mine” a luat naștere din dorința voluntarilor proiectului omonim, de a încuraja populația locală de a învăța mai multe despre istoria și patrimoniul băimărean.
Majoritatea întrebărilor fac referire la orașul din perioada medievală și sunt din domeniul istoriei, arhitecturii, ocupațiilor și meseriilor, sau amplasării geografice a clădirilor în zilele noastre.
Jocul cuprinde:
- 117 cartonașe cu întrebări din 3 categorii de puncte:
* 1 punct – 55 de întrebări (cunoștințe de bază pe care orice băimărean ar trebui să le știe);
* 2 puncte - 35 de întrebări (cunoștințe mai aprofundate despre oraș);
* 3 puncte – 20 de întrebări (detalii specifice despre Baia Mare);
* 7 cartonașe goale.
- 1 cărticică cu regulile și răspunsurile la întrebări; răspunsurile oferite sunt ca reper, jucătorii putând accepta variații ale răspunsurilor ca fiind corecte, atât timp cât informația esențială este păstrată.
- 1 hartă a orașului Baia Mare din perioada medievală și harta-răspuns la amplasarea clădirilor, precum și - 12 piese-clădiri pentru a fi poziționate pe hartă.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

TEXT COLLECTED BY

4. First day of the New Year – considered anciently by
the Dacians as the symbolic funerary ceremony
and the rebirth of the first God of the people, the
Year.
Baia Mare is the capital of Maramureș County.
Baia Mare, once known as The River of the Ladies
(Rivulus Dominarum), is crossed by the Săsar river.
The tradition is that on 6th January, for the
Baptism Day, the priests bless each house.
Single ladies put basil under their pillow on January
6, believing they will dream their future husband.
Baptism Day – the Biblical Day when Jesus was
baptised, has different superstitions in Maramureș,
one of it being drinking holy water for 8 days in a
row before eating, for body purification.
Saint John’s Day – last of the winter holidays, was
celebrated before through a strict ritual, when the
old women were welcoming the young ones by
splashing them with river water and having a
common feast.
Nearly 2 million Romanians bear the name or
derivates of John (Ioan, Ion, Ioana, Ionela, Nelu,

Ion get a special kind of celebration, called “Udatul
Ionilor” (Watering the Johns).

5. After the Bronze Age, Baia Mare was included in
the Dacian Kingdom formed by the King Burebista
when the mining exploration began, as the area is
rich in gold and silver.
Baia Mare is first mentioned in written documents
released by Charles I of Hungary in 1329 under the
name of Rivulus Dominarum, which means The
River of the Ladies.
The name of Rivulus Dominarum comes from the
legend where a man saw a few women separating
gold from the river’s sand and named the river as
“the ladies’ river”. This later seems to have become
the name of the settlement.
In the far past, while the women were working at
the river, the men worked in the mines from the
surrounding zones.
The main economic activity of Baia Mare has been
based on the mining activities in the surrounding
areas for centuries.

height of 351.5 meters, is the tallest structure in
Romania. The chimney is no longer in use.
Romanian expressions: i-a picat fața - his face has
fallen off, used in surprising or shocking situations.
The region of Maramureș is famous for its wood,
which includes wooden churches, wooden gates
and wooden handcrafted items.
