Summer schools funded through the Secondary Education Project (ROSE)

In July 2019, the „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași (UAIC) will conduct nine summer programs funded through the Secondary Education Project (ROSE) by the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (The World Bank). These programs aim to provide courses and other relevant activities for high school students—particularly socially disadvantaged ones—to encourage them to complete their high school studies and facilitate the continuation of their education at the tertiary level.

Summer Schools Implemented by UAIC

"I want to be a student at Letters! – Summer school for students – LiteratIS", (Faculty of Letters) - July 7–21, 2019

The summer school „Legal vacation LAW in Iași!” represents an opportunity to discover student life at the Faculty of Law before graduating from high school. The proposed activities are among the most varied: courses, workshops, fingerprint recovery, a scavenger hunt for tourist attractions based on legal clues, as well as recreational activities such as those within student associations or even sports. Don’t miss the opportunity to be one step ahead of all your other peers! Treat yourself to a legal vacation LAW in Iași!
The sub-project Summer School for Economists (EconomIS), organized by the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration between July 7–21, 2019, proposes an intensive and diversified program through which participants will familiarize themselves with the student campus facilities and understand the quality requirements of university training.

Within the EconomIS summer school, attractive courses will be organized for each individual specialization (economic sciences, social and political sciences) along with exam simulation-type workshops, so that the participating student economists can truly experience student life.

Study visits will be organized to financial-banking institutions (National Bank of Romania – Iași branch), public institutions (Iași City Hall), local companies, and business incubators, during which the theoretical/operational part will be combined with role-playing games involving the students from the target group.

Students will be engaged in sports competitions, recreational activities, and cultural events through which they will more easily establish connections with other participants, engage in joint activities, and better understand the artistic and cultural heritage of university Iași, which will contribute to understanding the perspectives that student life entails.

Through the ROSE project, transportation, accommodation, and meal costs for participants in the EconomIS course will be fully reimbursed, and they will also receive a kit (participant’s kit) containing: a backpack, t-shirt, cap, notebook, pen, memory stick, etc.
The GEO-GEO sub-project is promoted by the Faculty of Geography and Geology within the „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași. The summer program will last for 2 weeks (14 days), including Saturdays and Sundays, and will take place between June 30 and July 14, 2019.

Students will benefit from an intensive and diversified program of practical courses that will help them understand the specifics of geology as a science that studies the Earth, its composition and structure, fossils and the evolution of life through geological time, as well as the Earth’s natural resources. Geography as a science will become more engaging for students through understanding how natural resources related to water and soil must be managed in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, in the context of urban progress and demographic growth. Workshops will build students’ skills and competencies related to the analysis of water, soil, and rock samples using modern equipment and will help them forecast probable weather based on natural phenomena.

Study visits to the Iași Meteorological Station and the Repedea Geological and Paleontological Reservation in Iași will contribute to learning modern tools and methods for recording climatic parameters, storing and transmitting information, and developing weather forecasts. Students will gain a better understanding of the geological history of the municipality of Iași.

Special attention will be paid to professional counseling and career guidance activities, through which students will receive specialized assistance to make an informed and correct decision regarding their future university path, in correlation with their aspirations and personal potential.

For the benefit of the students, sports competitions and recreational activities will be organized through which students will experience team spirit, leadership drive, the capacity for artistic expression, and other qualities with enhancing potential. Cultural events (museum visits, attending performances) scheduled during the summer school will lead to a better knowledge of the artistic and cultural heritage of university Iași and will foster greater appreciation for the perspectives that student life entails.

To truly experience what student life means, students will be accommodated in university dormitories and will have their meals served at the cafeteria. They will equally benefit from the university’s educational facilities: conference rooms, seminar rooms, computer and multimedia laboratories, sports facilities, and recreation areas within the university campus.
The summer school „Early university experience for at-risk students: bridge program in the fields of Physical Education and Sports and Roman Catholic Theology” (TEOSPOR) aims to stimulate and consolidate the motivation of students in the target group to opt for continuing higher education in the fields of Physical Education and Sports and Roman Catholic Theology, in harmony with each student’s cognitive profile and professional development aspirations. The summer school will take place between July 7–21, 2019, during which students will benefit from an intensive and diversified program of learning and leisure activities through which they will familiarize themselves with the specifics of the fields of study: courses, workshops, study visits, packages of formative-recreational activities (sports competitions, biking along thematic tourist routes of Iași, etc.), professional counseling and career guidance, cultural events (visits to museums and various other tourist attractions, attending shows), etc. To experience what student life entails, students will be accommodated in university dormitories and will have their meals served at the canteen (3 meals per day). All students will benefit from the university’s educational and recreational facilities: lecture and conference rooms, seminar rooms, computer and multimedia laboratories, the sports base, and recreation areas in the university campus. At the beginning of the school, each student will receive a “participant’s kit” containing various useful educational resources: a backpack, sports tracksuit, sports shoes, t-shirt, cap, notebook, pen, memory stick, and a Bible. Participation is free! All costs related to transport, accommodation, meals, working materials, museum entries, etc., will be covered through the ROSE project.
The Science Summer sub-project is promoted by the academic community of the Faculties of Biology and Chemistry within the „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași. Through interactive courses, experiments, and laboratory activities, as well as field research activities, students will be able to develop their perception of the field of sciences, teamwork skills, and future professional projects. Counseling and career guidance activities will be carried out, through which each student will receive assistance in defining their academic path, in accordance with their aspirations and personal cognitive potential. Beneficiaries will participate in sports competitions and will better understand the scientific, artistic, and cultural heritage of university Iași, which will contribute to understanding the multiple perspectives that student life entails.
„Summer school in the fields of orthodox theology and history to improve higher education participation opportunities for students at risk of dropout” (TEOIST) aims to create an early university experience for students enrolled in terminal high school grades. The summer school will take place between July 7–21, 2019, during which students will benefit from an intensive and diversified program of courses, workshops, study visits, sports competitions, recreational activities, and cultural events (museum visits, shows, movies), which will ultimately lead to familiarizing students with student life in the fields of orthodox theology or history. To truly experience what campus conditions mean, students will be accommodated in university dormitories and will have their meals served at the canteen (3 meals per day). At the beginning of the school, each student will receive a “participant’s kit” containing various useful educational resources: a backpack, t-shirt, cap, notebook, pen, memory stick, etc. Participation is free! All costs related to transport, accommodation, meals, working materials, museum entries, etc., will be covered through the ROSE project.
Mathematics, as is well known, forms the foundation of all sciences, but it also guides almost every step we take in daily life. Although it is not the favorite subject of many students, we cannot get along without it, and those who understand it have a clear advantage over others in many professions.

On the other hand, computer science started as a branch of mathematics that broke away from the common trunk and followed its own path, without ever forgetting where it came from. Today, it is in very high demand because it constantly brings new things and new challenges into our lives.

The INFORMAT summer school wants to show students the best of both worlds, what opportunities open up for those who follow them, and what they will be able to do later if they choose to walk this path. It is not possible to present something so vast in its entirety, but students will be able to get in touch with some directions that we hope they will find appealing:

– Cryptography and information security – who isn’t interested today in what could happen to their tablet, computer, phone, or even bank account? All of them are more or less vulnerable to “electronic” wrongdoers, and it is good to learn how to protect ourselves from trouble.

– Astronomy – it’s not just for astronauts! Celestial mechanics, planetary orbits, comets, artificial satellites—all of these belong to this field, which attracts numerous enthusiasts.

– How computers and programs work – many students have already discovered some of their secrets, but there are still plenty left to learn.

– The future of computer science – about robots, virtual reality, social networks, 3D printers, and much more. There are so many new technologies changing our lives almost every day that it is hard for us to keep up with them.

There will also be visits to companies, generally in the IT field. Although it may not be easy to believe, not only computer scientists have a place there, but mathematicians as well. All it takes is knowing (and wanting) to use your knowledge and talent to do something that will help others too.
The main objective of the project is the school and professional guidance of 200 high school students in terminal grades who are in at-risk situations, by organizing annual summer programs (June-July) between 2017 and 2019. This early university experience aims to improve the transition process from high school to university education, being fully aligned with the Institutional Strategic Development Plan 2016–2020 of the „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași, which aims to attract a constant number of students by ensuring equal access to education, as well as developing projects and stimulating initiatives to attract high school graduates to the university.

In addition to familiarizing students with the academic environment, the project also aims to increase their self-esteem and confidence that they will succeed in pursuing university studies, to provide them with the context for developing relevant skills for success in higher education, and to present them with options for professional growth and building their own future.

This year’s summer school will take place between July 8 and July 21 (lasting for 2 consecutive weeks) and is prepared and implemented within the two faculties: the Faculty of Philosophy and Social-Political Sciences and the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences. The program will include a wide range of activities, among which: the presentation of the educational offering by representatives of the two faculties, the presentation of university facilities and equipment, the holding of courses and seminars similar to those carried out during the academic year, professional counseling and career guidance, workshops in specific fields, participation in recreational-sports activities (team games, movie screenings, folk concerts), cultural events, and relaxation and exploratory visits/walks around the university city of Iași.

Throughout the duration of the summer school, students will constantly benefit from the support of university academic staff, the involvement of student association representatives, and student volunteers, so that they may live an authentic university experience that will stimulate them to continue their studies.
Organization and security measures: The summer school will take place for two weeks in the Campus of the „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași. Students participating in the summer school will benefit from accommodation and meals throughout the program, with the involved faculties providing all the necessary resources to carry out the activities. During the summer school, students will be constantly monitored by teaching staff and supervising students. In addition, participants will be introduced to the Internal Regulations, which they will be required to comply with during the course.
