Within the school there will be: 4 teachers, 1 Romanian language teacher, 1 English language teacher, 1 Ukrainian language teacher and 2 arts and technology teachers. Apart from the language teacher Romanian, the entire staff is made up of refugee teachers from Ukraine,” the NGO’s press release states.

The space where the activity will take place is made available by the Sibiu Evangelical Parish.

„The school in this form will function for one year, being a 9-month project (October – June). During this year, the children will have the opportunity to learn the Romanian language, and next year they will be able to continue school, either in the educational system Romanian as a pupil, not a visitor as it was until now, either to return to Ukraine and re-enter the educational system there,” the press release reads.
