Free International University of Moldova

Rector of Free International University of Moldova, Academician

Andrei Galben has received today, July 02, 2014, a

congratulation message addressed by Maurizio Viezzi, President

of ELC on the occasion of the unanimous approval of ULIM by

the Board of the European Language Council as full member of

this prestigious association.

The Conseil Européen pour les Langues / European Language

Council is a permanent and independent association, whose main

aim is the quantitative and qualitative improvement of knowledge

of the languages and cultures of the European Union and beyond. The association was officially

launched in July 1997 by a group of leading European universities and associations with the support of

the then DG XXII of the Commission of the European Communities. Membership is open to all

institutions of higher education, and all national, European and international associations with a special

interest in languages.

Europe continues to undergo rapid and profound changes resulting from increasing integration, EU

expansion and globalisation. As a result of these developments, there is now an unprecedented need for

effective communication across linguistic boundaries, which requires new policies and decisive action.

The founding of the European Language Council was a direct result of the Stockholm Evaluation

Conference (June 1995), jointly organised by the SIGMA Scientific Committee on Languages and the

European Commission. The findings of the national reports prepared by the Committee and of the

recommendations emerging from the conference highlighted the need for an independent organisation

that could address the issues of a multilingual and multicultural Europe from the point of view of higher

education.

The international Rating Agency ,,Expert PA’’ classified the Free

International University of Moldova among the best institutions of higher

education from CSI (Community of Independent States). The evaluation

was made on 150 the most prestigious universities from , Ukraine,

Kazakhstan, Belarus, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Kirgizstan.

The results of the study are based on the statistic data, as well as on the

results of surveys where participated more than 5500 respondents – profes-

sors, employers, researchers, students and alumni. According to the final list, the best universities are in Russia

(95) and Ukraine (33). The classification continues with Belarus (10) and Kazakhstan (9). The Republic of

Moldova is represented by two higher education institutions, ULIM and ASEM, the first one achieving a score

higher than the Academy of Economic Sciences (see the ranking: http://raexpert.ru/rankings/vuz/vuz_sng/

part2/ ).For the survey there were analyzed the following aspects: the university conditions for a quality

education, employment of graduates, and university reputation at national and international level.

In the majority of CSI countries there isn’t the tendency to transform the universities into entrepreneurial

structures, except Russia where the results of the survey within the institutions of higher education are

frequently implemented and commercialized by patents, licenses, and creation of innovative small enterprises.

institute of the State and its interests must be put ahead the others. The policies and programmers must take in

consideration the family and its members' interests, especially of vulnerably people. That’s why more actions

should be directed towards educating young generations to create families, preparing them both at home and in

the educational institutions. Promoting the life culture has to become for all us one of the main goals. ,,The

importance of education in man’s life and its influence on the development of a contemporary society, consists a

special attention for the Church’’:

A) The spiritual education is firstly due to parents. So they are the first teachers and priests of the child. The

family is the first school of the human and social virtues, ,,which no society can’t deprive of’’.

B) The second place concerning the education is due to the society. It has the duty not to create, but to defend

the parents’ obligations and rights and of those who participate in education.

C) The Church has a big role in the child’s spiritual life which he receives through the sacrament of Baptism, so

the entire life of the child is permeated by the spirit of Christ.

The family and children will be defended if they develop their own

resources and values which they receive through natural law, and they

are not modified or changed due to political or ideological reasons.

The Scientific – Practical International Conference ,,Preservation of the

Family Integrity – a priority policy to protect the child’’ was concluded

with a final declaration, and the participants have decided to meet in a

year to evaluate the results of the declaration objectives

implementation.

On Tuesday, April 15th, 2014, Mr. Manfred Schulz, EUBAM Specialist

in the Border Procedures Control, held a public lecture for the students from

ULIM on the topic ,,Schengen Regulations to facilitate freedom of movement

in Europe’’.

The expert began his speech with a short story about the history of the

Schengen zone creation, mentioning that the abolition of controls at the inter-

nal borders in the European Union had started since 1985. The Schengen

zone was created by the Schengen Agreement in 1985 which provided the gradual abolition of the common bor-

ders controls. The Agreement was completed by the Convention in 1990 concerning the implementation of the

Schengen Agreement which established the final abolition of the internal borders controls.

The specialist also defined the meaning of the Schengen zone, mentioning that the participation to the no

internal borders controls means that the member countries:

Don’t make any controls at their internal borders (the borders between two states which are part of the

Schengen zone);

Intensified their controls, which have to accomplish clear criteria at their external borders (the borders be-

tween a state from the Schengen zone and a state which is not part of the Schengen zone).

The students from ULIM were informed about the Schengen regula-

tions concerning the freedom of movement in the European Union.

SAPIENTIA ET VIRTUS

Mr. Schulz declared that the European commission is working on the consolidation of the Schengen rules in

order to strengthen this cooperation. The European Union countries have to prove reciprocal confidence.

In the same context there were mentioned the security measures the European Union implemented to assure the

Schengen zone security. For its guaranty the member states intensified the police cooperation, especially through

the cross-border monitoring and surveillance, and the Schengen

Information System (SIS).

In conclusion, the expert mentioned that according to the Schengen

Agreement, more than 400 million European people can travel without

passport. More than 1,25 billion trips are made to visit friends and

relatives in Europe, without any bureaucratic obstacles at the internal

borders.

The event was moderated by Mrs. Viorica ȚÂCU, Senior lecturer at

the Faculty of History and International Relations of ULIM, and

organized by the EUBAM in collaboration with the International

Cooperation Center of ULIM.

Songs and beautiful poems, in various languages, had been dedicated,

yesterday at ULIM, to all women. The Concert dedicated to women was

organized by the Foreign Students Department from ULIM.

Natella Pasha, the Head of the Foreign Students Department from ULIM

mentioned that they organized this concert dedicated to women in April

because in all countries, where the majority of foreign students come from,

the Women’s Day is celebrated on March 21st.

,,We had to organize this holiday at the end of March, when it’s celebrated

abroad. Because of the exams which the students had to pass that time, we

postponed the celebration’’, said Natella Pasha.

On their 1st, 2nd or 3rd year at the university at different faculties, all foreign

students had the possibility to present what they can do the best. They

danced, sang, and presented various artistic numbers succeeding to create a

festive atmosphere.

The show impressed the audience. Elena Lungu, a 2nd year student says she was impressed by all she saw.

,,I couldn’t say that I liked someone more or less. They all were great’’, added Elena.

Although some students learn the Romanian language harder, others easier, Svetlana Mogâldea,

a Romanian language teacher in a Congo students group, says that those who work hard, succeed to

achieve high progresses.

The young people want to study in Moldova due to different reasons:

the contract is cheaper, the war conditions in their countries and

many others. Waheeb, a young man from Israel and who has been

studying for five months in Moldova, wants to become a veterinary.

He says he spends 700 Euros per month.

The concert dedicated to all women is organized every year by the

Foreign Students Department.

The Foreign students from ULIM presented a concert

SAPIENTIA ET VIRTUS The polluted water problem in Moldova is an old one and every

year it becomes more dangerous. Within the Moldovan-Korean

Forum on the topic ,,Application of advance technologies in the

agriculture from the Republic of Moldova and the development

perspectives: the water quality improvement’’, there were presented the

newest water purification techniques from South Korea.

The Korean representatives are interested to contribute in solving the

problem of polluted water in Moldova. They made an experiment. They took

by one 3 liter jar of water from various locations from Moldova, as well as

from the river Bâc and the lake Ghidighici. In most of the cases the water

had a greenish color with seaweeds, even dark. After the water was treated

with special substances, it regained its color and became clearer, all the

impurities being at the bottom. ,,What is left at the bottom would be eaten by fish. The water is totally clean and

good to drink’’, said one of South Korean representative.

From the other hand, the Minister of Environment Gheorghe Șalaru says that this collaboration with Korea is

very important. ,,Any friendly collaboration is welcome for our environment, to become a modern country.

I saw this method is very efficient, and the today specialists will explain us how to implement it in Moldova.

We will continue to analyze it’’, says Gheorghe Șalaru. The Ministry of Environment thinks the today forum is

just the beginning. ,,Until today we don’t have any collaboration with any project in this field, but we hope to

have in the future. We are interested to see the existed technologies in South Korea and borrow them for

Moldova’’, added the Minister.

The event took place within the Free International University of Moldova, where there is the only Center of

Korean Culture from Moldova ,,Se Jong’’.

At the Sambo National Championship which took place on Saturday, Mihai

Brânzianu, student at ULIM, won the Champion Title. Even if he is a

Sambo national champion, Mihai studies at the Faculty of Law and dreams

to continue his career in this field. Mihai is one of the young people for who

the sport is not just a hobby, but a healthy lifestyle.

He works out three hours a day at ,,Lotul Național’’, runs an hour every

morning, to strengthen the resistance, and studies at ULIM. With such a

charged program, Mihai says he has time to practice and other sports. ,,I play tennis, basketball, football in my

spare time’’, said the young sportsman. He is fond of Sambo due to his father, who is a judo coach.

The fight for the champion title was very hard, told Mihai. ,,Sincerely, I didn’t think I would obtain the first

place, because there were very strong competitors from the Sportive Lyceum. The hardest fight was at the end’’,

said Mihai. The grand final was fought between him and Alexandru Darie, student at Moldova State University.

Mihai chose to study at ULIM because from his childhood he heard about the popularity and studies quality at

this university. He was even happier to know that he could study for free due to the sportive performances.

Mihai Brânzianu will represent ULIM at the category of 82 kilos, at the European Championship which will

take place in May this year in Romania.

experience at ULIM in three words was organized on 4 April

2014. The participants received white and blue ribbons, the

symbol - colors of ULIM, on which both foreign students and

native ones have written beautiful words, but without exceeding,

the limit of 3 words.

good people", a young man from Israel wrote, "my heart is ULIM".

The messages were written in Chinese, Korean, French, English,

Turkish, Azerbaijani, Ukrainian and others languages.

The aim of this Flash Mob was to make known the ULIM slogan

for how many people as possible: "We do not learn for the school,

but for life".

Also, through this event, the ULIM’s students wanted to motivate

prospective students who have a dilemma of what University

should they choose after graduation, to take advantage of the

opportunity to live a unique academic experience in a dynamic and

diverse educational background, which the Free International

University of Moldova

provides.

Valentina Ciumacenco,

Director of the Center

for International Cooperation, welcomed this action, pointing out

that: "Not the walls make a school, but the spirit that reigns in

it".

The atmosphere was charged by the dances on the beats of the

famous song that conquered the entire world "Happy" performed

by Pharell Williams. During the event students, meet their

international colleagues, because at ULIM are studding students

from over 30 countries of the world, like Israel, Turkey, Nigeria,

China, South Korea and so on. Especially those international

students were the happiest to manifest their respect and

admiration for ULIM.

The event was organized on the initiative of students in

collaboration with the Center for International Cooperation.

ULIM’s experience in three words

SAPIENTIA ET VIRTUS On April 4th 2014, at ULIM took place a public lecture on

the topic Northern Ireland: from confrontation to negotiation’’.

The lecture was held by Peter Shirlow, professor at the Royale

University from Belfast.

The Conflict from Northern Ireland is due to the religious

misunderstandings between Protestants and Catholics, at the

dispute between Great Britain and Ireland concerning the

territory of Northern Ireland. The confrontations began in 1968

and were marked by various terrorist acts.

Within the lecture, the students and professors from different

faculties found out detailed information about the Ireland

conflict directly from the specialist, because Peter Shirlow,

whose family was Protestant, was involved in conducting and solving this problem.

Peter Shirlow said: ,, We could go to bed in peace and wake up in the middle of the war’’. There were

formed armed conflicts between the nationalist minority community (the Catholics), and the unionist

majority community (the Protestants) which resulted the death of 3.500 people and 50.000 injured.

Ironically, both the Protestants and the Catholics were fighting for the same things: democracy, security,

territory, jobs, etc. Both communities were delimited by walls, and people from one camp didn’t talk with

those from the opposite camp. There were separately shops, streets for Catholics and for Protestants. There

were drawings on the walls which were provoking enmity and violence.

The pacification process began in 1998 when there was signed the Agreement from Belfast. The official

languages were: English, Irish and Ulster Scots. Both communities had the same rights. The policemen

uniforms had Catholic and Protestant elements. The Catholic prisoners were freed. Peter Shirlow said the

conflict was solved through dialogue and compromises.

Professor Shirlow tried to compare the conflict from Northern

Ireland with that from Transnistria. He affirmed that both

conflicts are the same, the states pretend to the same territory.

The event was organized by the Embassy of Great Britain in

Chișinau in collaboration with the International Cooperation

Center of ULIM, represented by its director Mrs. Valentina

Ciumacenco.

society, corruption decrease, economy, justice and commerce development. His Excellency also mentioned how

well we speak the English language, especially the young people.

He noticed the increased number of Moldovan students who apply to prestigious Universities from Great Brit-

ain, saying that our young people have a high level of intellectuality, especially for foreign languages, like Eng-

lish, Russian, Chinese, French, etc.

As for the evolutions from Ukraine and its security, the diplomat said that the stability and security are important

not just for the Republic of Moldova, but also for the entire region.

Some students wanted to know why Publika TV has news in

Russian: “There are emissions in Russian, and this is very

annoying’’. “The Russians from Moldova are born here.

They represent the population of Moldova. We also address to that

part of people, who are the Russian speakers’’, explained the media

analyst Cristian Tabără.

“You have to protect your language through unity and not to hate

the Russians’’, said the emission’s moderator, Rita Ursalovschi.

they forgot about what they wanted to ask. The participants to the

meeting were pleased by the moderators of ,,Fabrika’’:

“It is very helpful and sincere for us. It’s an opportunity to understand what happened beyond the screen’’.

“It is very important to take in consideration these knowledge and skills’’.

“I liked that the journalists were opened and answered to various provocative questions. There was very useful

and I thank them’’. At their turn, the emission’s moderators

say that the idea to organize such meetings is fully justified.

“The public is very important for us. Without collaboration

with it, we wouldn’t exist’’, mentioned Cristian Tabără.

“We came in front of the TV spectators to understand what

they want from these emissions’’, affirmed Rita Ursalovschi.

Heretofore, the journalists of Publika TV have had similar

meetings with the students and professors from the State

find below the opinions of these two students about the Merit Scholarships, what it means to be an active student

and what are their advises to become a better students.

Cristina Bruma, ULIM, Faculty of Letters, Specialty of Journalism

“I applied for this Scholarship to test myself. One thing is to be the best at the faculty, and something different is

to be designated among the best students of Moldova. It was in the evening around 6pm, when they called me to

tell the wonderful news. They told me “Congratulations Cristina! You are one of the winners of the Merit

Scholarships’’. I was very happy and proud. Of course, I called my parents and my professors to thank them for

supporting me.

In my opinion, an exemplar student is the student who succeeds to study, to come to the university every day,

and to practice in the chosen field. I would advise the students to study more, to like what they do and to be

thankful to people who helped them. I am a bit sad because in a few months I will not see my loved professors

and I will miss them very much. Life is so beautiful, so we have to enjoy it, and do nice things for us and the

society. Concerning the money, I will invest it for my career and future’’.

Tina Parfeni, ULIM, Faculty of Law

“I like to study at the Faculty of Law of the Free International University of Moldova. I always worked very hard to

achieve my goals and objectives, to be the leader or at least among the best ones. This project was an opportunity to test

my skills, that’s why I applied for it. I express my gratitude for the merit that makes me to be more responsible. In my

opinion, an exemplar student is a student who is involved in many activities, tends to develop his skills, and participates

at any extracurricular activities. I will use the money to develop my personal skills. I would love to say to all the young

people that at this age it is very important to invest in the development of their own competences. They have to remem-

ber that today they are better than yesterday, and don’t have to lose their confidence and courage. I wish good luck to

the students from ULIM and great achievements for all the students from Moldova’’.

SAPIENTIA ET VIRTUS

Vendredi, 11 avril 2014, la Faculté des Lettres a organisé la Session scientifique annuelle «Symposia Studentium». Le Département de Philologie romane «Petru Roşca», en collaboration avec l’Antenne de l’Agence universitaire de la Francophonie de Chisinau, a mis en place un Atelier francophone, qui s’est déroulé dans le Centre de réussite universitaire (salle 410) et a réuni des participants de l’ULIM, de l’Université Pédagogique d’Etat «Ion Creangă» et de l’Université d’Etat «Alecu Russo» de Bălţi. Les étudiants des cycles licence et master ont présenté les résultats de leurs recherches scientifiques conçues sous forme d’études de cas, rapports, thèses, projets etc. et ont abordé des problèmes liés à la traduction, à la terminologie, à la linguistique, à la littérature, à l’enseignement/apprentissage des langues étrangères. 10 étudiants de l’Université de Balti ont fait connaître leurs interventions via le système de visioconférences. La session a été suivie de débats sur les sujets mis en discussion par les intervenants et par la remise des diplômes et des certificats de participation. L’activité a été inaugurée par M. Ghenadie Râbacov, chef du département et Responsable CRU; M. Roman Kwiatkowski, Responsable de l’Antenne AUF de Chişinău; Mme Claudia Vişan, Responsable de formations à l’Antenne et Mme Elena Prus, Directrice de l’Institut de Recherches philologiques et interculturelles de l’ULIM. Traditionnellement, les meilleurs interventions serons publiées dans le volume «Symposia Masterandum et Studentium», qui paraît sous l’égide de l’ICFI.

Le 7 avril, dans le Centre de réussite universitaire de l’ULIM, s’est déroulé l’atelier bilingue roumain-français « Légalisation des traductions et certification notariée des documents officiels ». L’importance de la problématique soumis au débat a été saluée par Mme Ludmila Hometkovski, doyenne de la Faculté des Lettres de l’ULIM aussi bien que par les 30 participants inscrits: traducteurs assermentés expérimentés et débutants, professeurs, étudiants venant des facultés des lettres. L’atelier a compris 3 axes importants : 1. L’axe juridique/informative, avec trois formateurs externes. Madame Inesa Foltea, Présidente de l’Union des Traducteurs Assermentés de Moldavie, a informé les participants sur quelques aspects relatifs à l’application des codes de déontologie professionnelle. Le public a proposé des ajustements au code du métier de traducteur et ont abordé des standards uniques en ce qui concerne la prestation des services de traduction de haute qualité, en accord avec la législation nationale et celle européenne. Un intérêt particulier a éveillé la présentation de Madame Alexandra Vidrașcu, notaire public ayant une expérience redoutable dans le domaine de la jurisprudence. Elle a parlé très en détails de la méthodologie visant le processus de légalisation de la signature des traducteurs par les notaires publics. La troisième intervention, celle de Madame Aliona Lisnic, enseignante supérieure et membre de la Commission d’attestation des interprètes et traducteurs auprès du Ministère de la Justice, a été ciblée sur la procédure de sélection et d’examen des candidats qui sollicitent l’obtention d’une autorisation légale de traducteur/interprète. 2. L’axe traductif, conçu exclusivement par M. Ghenadie Râbacov, qui a eu quelques interventions axées principalement sur la pratique de la traduction. Le formateur a également présenté les résultats d’une étude de cas consacrée aux difficultés de traduction des textes spécialisés (à la base des textes traduits par les étudiants de l’ULIM). 3. L’axe organisationnel, centré sur le lancement d’un projet commun ULIM – UTA, qui pourrait offrir aux traducteurs moldaves la possibilité de se rencontrer et de débattre différentes questions, mais aussi un soutien professionnel dans l’exercice de leur métier. L’atelier a continué par une série de questions/réponses sur les sujets analysés, mais également sur la transcription/translitération des noms propres, l’application de l’apostille sur les documents, la solution des situations de conflits etc. L’événement a été organisé par le Centre de réussite universitaire et le Département de Philologie Romane de l’ULIM, en partenariat avec l’Union des Traducteurs Assermentés de Moldavie, à l’initiative de M. Ghenadie Râbacov.

vont se dérouler dans la période 20-31 mars.

La cérémonie d’ouverture a été modérée par M. Ghenadie Râbacov, chef du département et Responsable CRU,

qui, dans son discours inaugural, a mentionné: «Apprendre la langue française signifie dire „oui” aux valeurs

humaines, culturelles et civilisatrices; dire „oui” à la diversité, à la démocratie, à la solidarité, à la liberté, à la

paix; dire „oui” aux langues romanes comme l’espagnol, l’italien ou le roumain, dire „oui” de même à l’anglais

auquel le français a fourni plus de 50% du vocabulaire anglais actuel. Apprendre le français signifie aussi dire

„non”. Non à la discrimination, non aux conséquences néfastes de la mondialisation».

Le public a été honoré par la présence de M. Nicolae Ţâu, vice-

recteur pour la coopération internationale, ULIM; de Mme

Ludmila Hometkovski, doyenne de la Faculté des Lettres; de M.

réalisés au sein de la Filière francophone «Gestion et administration des entreprises», créée à l’ULIM en 1997.

Le vice-recteur a mis l’accent sur les possibilités de co-diplomation, de mobilité académique et des partenariats

qui donnent une plus-value à l’image de l’ULIM.

Mme Ludmila Hometkovski, maître de conférences, docteur ès lettres, a remercié au corps enseignant de la

faculté qu’elle dirige et aux étudiants, qui représentent l’âme de la Francophonie et qui font toujours preuve

l’activité du Centre de réussite universitaire, inauguré il y a un an grâce au soutien de l’AUF, et a passé en revue

les réalisations essentielles enregistrées par notre établissement dans le domaine de la francophonie universitaire,

par la contribution excellente de Madame Ana Guţu, personnalité marquante dans le monde francophone,

présidente de la Section moldave à l’Assemblée Parlementaire de la Francophonie, présidente d’importantes

commissions parlementaires nationales et européennes.

Mme Elena Prus, prof., docteur d’Etat, a fait référence à la

francophonie comme à un nouveau volet de la culturalité

humaine et de l’interculturalité, devenue un impératif de la

société globalisante d’aujourd’hui.

Un message plein d’optimisme et d’émotions de la part du

Sénat des étudiants de l’ULIM a été prononcé par Mlle Tina

Parfeni, étudiante en IV-ième année à la Faculté de Droit.

Les discours d’inauguration ont été suivis par un programme

artistique organisé par les étudiants de toutes les facultés qui

apprennent le français. Pleins d’énergie, vrais messagers des

valeurs et des idéaux francophones, ils ont inventé et joué des

mises en scène, ils ont présenté les résultats de quelques

sondages opérés auprès du public francophone, ils ont chanté en français, ils ont récité de la création des grands

poètes français, ils ont dansé et ont réussi à créer une ambiance dégagée, en démontrant, une fois de plus, qu’à

l’ULIM la Francophonie est chez elle.

Mercerdi, 26 mars, dans le Centre de réussite universitaire de

l’ULIM, M. Ghenadie Râbacov a organisé et

animé l’atelier « Maîtrise des outils de recherche et d’accès à la

documentation scientifique », qui s’est adressé aussi bien à des

chercheurs expérimentés qu’aux jeunes chercheurs et aux étudiants

en dernière année qui se sont lancés dans des recherches

scientifiques.

L’animateur a parlé de la libre disponibilité en ligne des contenus numériques et a présenté différents types de

publications en libre accès, des sites, des portails et des métamoteurs pour la recherche documentaire sur

Internet. Les participants ont été également familiarisés avec les sites de revues francophones et les possibilités

d’accès aux bases de données de l’Agence universitaire de la Francophonie.

L’atelier a suscité non seulement l’intérêt des philologues mais aussi des enseignants de disciplines non-

linguistiques.

Atelier à destination des chercheurs: « Maîtrise des

outils de recherche et d’accès à la documentation

SAPIENTIA ET VIRTUS Mercredi, 26 mars, dans le cadre des Journées de la

Francophonie, M. Ghenadie Râbacov a organisé un

nouveau concours, cette fois-ci ciblé sur la cinématographie

francophone.

Le concours a eu lieu dans le Centre de réussite universitaire, en deux

étapes, et a réuni des étudiants des Facultés des Lettres, Sciences

Economiques, Biomédecine et Ecologie de l’ULIM. En première étape les

participants ont dû reconnaître les stars de cinéma d’après leurs photos et

donner des détails sur leur vie et leur carrière, tandis que la deuxième a été

destinée surtout aux étudiants qui ont fréquenté les séances du Café cinéma

(organisé deux fois par mois, le jeudi), car ils ont dû reconnaître, en base de quelques captures d’images, les

films qui avaient été déroulés dans le CRU dès l’inauguration du centre.

Lors de la séance du Club Toastmasters Francs-Parleurs

Chisinau, qui s’est déroulée lundi, 17 mars courant, à

l’Alliance Française de Moldavie, Mlle Ana-Maria Trifan,

étudiante de la III-ème année licence, section de philologie

française, a présenté un excellent discours sur l’interprétation

des concepts de liberté et responsabilité, étant qualifiée par le

jury comme l’orateur du jour. La prestation de nos étudiants

Ana-Maria Trifan et Bogdan Calugareanu dans ce club fait

l’admiration de tous.

Quelques passages tirés du discours prononcé par Ana-Maria:

Liberté. Respect. Culture.

La liberté, droit fondamental de l’être humain, comporte une autre dimension que celle que nous

connaissons déjà lors des années de l’adolescence.

Jean Jacques Rousseau affirme dans «Le Contrat Social»: «Renoncer à sa liberté, c’est renoncer à sa

qualité d’homme.» Mais quelles frontières connaît cette liberté? Si chacun profite de sa liberté,

suffira-t-on de l’espace dans le monde entier? L’indépendance ou la liberté où chacun fait ce qu’il

veut, n’est qu’une liberté négative qui se trouve dans le péril de se détruire elle-même. Les grands

philosophes, comme le premier défenseur de la liberté de penser et de s’exprimer, Voltaire,

quelles limites envisageaient-ils pour la liberté?

SAPIENTIA ET VIRTUS

Concours de cinéma francophone

Ana-Maria Trifan, un des meilleurs orateurs du

Club Toastmasters Francs-Parleurs

SAPIENTIA ET VIRTUS

Prenons un exemple: moi, je me promène avec mon enfant dans un parc où se promènent deux

homosexuels. Je suis libre de protéger mon enfant des comportements non ordinaires et eux, les

deux, à leur tour, sont libres de s’embrasser dans un parc. Alors, qui sera la victime? La liberté de

qui sera transgressée?

Ma liberté finit là où commence la liberté de l’autre. En tant que personne mise dans un contexte

social, je ne vis pas toute seule, je ne dois pas porter atteinte à la liberté des autres qui ont les

mêmes droits que moi. C’est du respect réciproque, mutuel. C’est ce qui assure une communion

entre tous les citoyens, autrement dit, une union sociale. C’est aussi de la culture, quand on va au

cinéma et on se permet la liberté de parler pendant le déroulement du film.

Enfin, le grand existentialiste français Jean Paul Sartre met le point de tous nos dilemmes avec l’idée

qui repose sur le paradoxe que la liberté suppose aussi de la responsabilité: «L’Homme, il a été

condamné à la liberté».

Les 14-15 mars les Responsables du Centre de réussite

universitaire de l’ULIM, M. Ghenadie Râbacov et Mlle Lilia Sula,

ont suivi la formation «Développement et promotion des actions dans

les CRUs de l’AUF», organisé par l’Antenne de Chisinau de

l’Agence universitaire de la Francophonie, en collaboration avec

AEGIS Training.

La formation a été articulée sur des aspects purement pratiques. Les

formateurs, M. Vitalie Popescu et M. Mihai Tănase de l’AEGIS, ont mis l’accent sur l’identification du public

cible en fonction de ses besoins, les ressources dont il a besoin, la mise en lumière des points forts et des points

faibles dans l’organisation et le déroulement des activités francophones, l’exploitation du logiciel MindManager

comme outil efficace d’augmentation de la productivité des actions à l’intérieur des CRUs, l’établissement des

partenariats et la gestion du budget destiné pour chaque événement déroulé dans les centres de réussite.

La formation a réuni également des professeurs de

l’Université d’Etat, de l’Université Technique, de

l’Université Agraire, de l’Université de Médecine et de

Pharmacie «Nicolae Testemitanu» et de l’Université «Alecu

Russo» de Balti. Ainsi, les responsables des six CRUs auprès

des établissements moldaves membres de l’AUF ont eu la

possibilité de travailler en équipe et de partager l’expérience

acquise depuis l’inauguration de leur CRU.
