SUMMER SCHOOL AT BALANCE SHEET

After 6 weeks in which more than 200 children and adolescents from Braila participated in the "Danube Summer School", within the County Library "Panait Istrati" the courses organized in the 60 workshops have ended.

The story of the Summer School ended on August 1, by a trip on the Danube aboard the ships "Borcea" and "Ovidiu". It was a surprise of the library for the children enrolled in the program and for the coordinators of the workshops and many of those present were overwhelmed by the beauty of the adventure on the water.

Throughout the courses, there were diverse and interesting activities, clever, creative and empathetic moderators.

"In total, there were 60 workshops within the Danube Summer School, 90% of them having a fishery theme, totaling over 700 hours of activity, each having a variable period of development. Thus, some activities were carried out during one week, others during the whole club, reaching a total of 470 workshops. On average, each day there were 253 visits, with 16 participants per workshop, totaling 7,590 visits throughout the club. In this project we've involved 30 librarians, 40 external collaborators, and 70 young volunteers, who dedicated themselves to children and their development", said Laura Caplea, spokesman of the County Library. According to the quoted source, the little ones participated in various workshops of creativity, skill, communication, meant to develop their skills. The workshops with the greatest attraction for children were those of skill, where they had the opportunity to create under the guidance and careful supervision of the coordinator's various objects, toys, paintings, which they could later take home.

Also, a great success was the creative writing workshop, where 19 talented children and young people, between the ages of 10 and 17, wrote an anthology of literary texts "Legends hidden in waves", published in Proilavia Publishing House in 350 years.

Equally interesting to the young people was the marine knot workshop, where they learned to make various types of knots, as well as to use the reflective vest and the life jacket. The teenagers were attracted to the techno-creative workshop, where they learned to build 3-knot boats, equipped with video cameras, designed to make various measurements, such as the temperature or the depth of the water, without disturbing the natural, wild environment of the Bălţi Mici area of ​​Braila.

In other workshops, children had the opportunity to make various visits to the municipality or county, where they learned the history of places, personalities, buildings and factories representative for the area in which they live. The visit to the VARD Brăila Shipyard revealed to the children some of the trades of those who work within this unit, and at the Holiday Ecobase workshop, the children discovered the beauties of the wild area of ​​Balta Mică in Brăila, following a visit with the ferry in the area.

The Danube Summer School was funded with European POPAM funds, which provided the necessary materials for the workshops, the participation of children being free, only based on the library permit. The project was financed within the Strategy for Integrated Local Development of the Fishery Zone of Brăila county with the sum of 123,576 lei, and the project manager is Corina Ciuraru, head of the service within the Library. The main topic of the activities was the fishing area of ​​Braila, the environment, the fauna and flora of these places, as well as the traditions and customs here, and the period of implementation continues until May 2020.

Cappuccio and Posillipo happy with the initiative

In Turin come electric scooters and pedal-assisted bicycles in sharing

Scooters will only be able to circulate on bicycle lanes and in areas at 30 km/h, pending the resolution fixing this limit also in Ztl. To drive them it will be mandatory to be 18 years old or have a motorcycle license and have a reflective jacket behind, to be worn from sunset to sunrise

In Turin, electric scooters and pedal-assisted bikes with sharing are arriving. After the approval on 8 October by the Appendino of the guidelines for free-floating services, this morning the public notice for operators who want to offer these services and those of traditional bicycles, scooters were public in the praetorian register.

The first scooters should be racing through the streets of the city in November. If at the moment it is not yet possible to know if someone will decide to join, as transport councilor Maria Lapietra announced ten days ago, "there are 12 interested managers, as well as some for assisted pedaling bikes".

There is a limit of 500 units per company, which may vary according to use. "If a type of vehicle will be used a lot, the exponent of the junta Appendino explained - the manager could put more on the road. On the contrary, it will be obliged to remove them ". In the squares of San Carlo, Castello, Vittorio Veneto, Carlo Alberto, Carignano and Palazzo di Città parking will be permitted only in the areas designated for parking cycles and motorcycles.

Scooters will only be able to circulate on bicycle lanes and in zones 30, pending the resolution that fixes this limit also in the LTZ.

Each operator must guarantee an insurance policy and a 10 euro surety bond - for traditional bikes and assisted pedaling, for scooters and segways - and 20 euros for scooters. The managers, for each vehicle, will have to allocate 5 euros for the MaaS platform, which will integrate the various services to move around the city (from local public transport to We Taxi, from scooters to bike sharing).

To ensure the removal of abandoned or irregularly parked vehicles, operators will have to activate a call center active 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

The notice will remain open for the next 5 years: advance deadline to 27 July 2021 for only innovative micro-electrically propelled vehicles, such as scooters.
