The image of Romania in German TV 4


Thursday, 21 April 2005, saw the Brukenthalschüler Class 10a with their Bulgarian partners two films about the minorities in Romania.

The first film was about the Roma from Romania. The King of the Roma, Cioaba, told about the situation of this minority. To show the life of the king, you have shown the wedding of his daughter. Although she is a minor, she married an older man and then one has not complied with the international human rights. Showing. such as the Roma are from Romania to their old traditions. It was also shown other Roma families who are very poor, but still not want to improve their lifestyle. The students then discussed whether to change with

entry into the EU something. All responded that the Roma from Bulgaria and Romania, their lifestyle and traditions are not giving up. Nevertheless, they are part of a large minority in both countries.

The second film was about the different minorities living in the area of the Danube Delta. It has previously shown the ruins of the ancient Greek settlements and the Black Sea coast. Then we presented the various animal and plant species living in this region. Most fishermen are Lipovans. They come from Russia and are two centuries ago hergewandert because they were persecuted religious. As it fished during the communist era a lot, there are few fish species. Therefore, the more Lipovans living from agriculture. In this area live many Arumänen. They are from the north of Greece and deal with livestock. Their children deal with the animals because they do not want to forget the old ways.

the end, all students have answered questions on topics from the film. There were general questions that were used, that the Bulgarian students retain something of the Romanian minorities. In conclusion, all had to figure out how the picture looks like Romania in Germany.
The Romanian students claimed that the overall picture is negative. Nevertheless, it has agreed that the movies are in fact the truth.

For many students it was very interesting because they have learned something new about some of the minorities in Romania. Many were also impressed by the beauty of the Danube Delta. We were also impressed that there are similarities between the Roma in both countries and both countries have a big problem with their minorities. We think Bulgaria and Romania must solve these problems in order to join the EU.
