♻️Experiențele ne apropie. Ideile ne conectează. Oportunitățile se construiesc împreună.

La Forumul Tinerilor din Diasporă și de Acasă, o vom cunoaște pe Carolina Popescu, studentă la Paris School of Luxury – Campus Mediaschool, Nisa, Franța, unde studiază marketingul și comunicarea în industria luxului.

🇫🇷 Carolina va vorbi despre experiența sa de studentă în Franța – despre alegerea unui parcurs academic internațional, adaptarea la un mediu nou, provocările întâlnite, oportunitățile descoperite și experiențele care contribuie la dezvoltarea personală și profesională a unui tânăr.

🤝 Forumul de la Milano își propune să fie o punte de legătură între tinerii din diasporă și cei de acasă– un spațiu în care aceștia își pot împărtăși experiențele, pot descoperi perspective diferite, pot crea conexiuni și pot construi rețele care să continue dincolo de eveniment.

▶️Pentru că uneori o experiență împărtășită poate deveni inspirația, ideea sau oportunitatea de care un alt tânăr avea nevoie.

📍 Ne întâlnim la Milano!

🇪🇺 EUMOD 2026 – Learning Diplomacy Through Practice

Today, the Coordinator of the American Studies Center – Moldova, together with a group of students, took part in the EUMOD 2026 evening, an educational project designed to bring the world of diplomacy and international negotiations closer to young people. The event offered participants an opportunity to explore, through practical experience, what it means to represent a country’s position, negotiate and work towards compromise.

EUMOD – European Union Model: Simulation of the Negotiation Process on European Union Enlargement combines training sessions on EU institutions, diplomatic protocol and international negotiations with a practical simulation of the EU enlargement negotiation process. Conducted in English, the project also develops students’ communication, argumentation, negotiation and leadership skills.

The project is implemented by the EUMOD Initiative Group, consisting of second-year International Relations students at FRISPA, USM – Alexei Doțuc, Elena Casîm and Kyrylo Konoplian, under the guidance of lecturers Alina Slobodaniuc and Lia Butucel. It is carried out within the project “Young People for the Future: Development, Guidance, Success”, implemented by Asociația Caroma Nord, with the contribution of Moldova State University, the Faculty of International Relations, Political and Administrative Sciences, the Department of International Relations, AO Tinerii Acasă and the American Studies Center – Moldova.

🌍 FORUMUL TINERILOR DIN DIASPORĂ ȘI DE ACASĂ | MILANO 2026

Astăzi vi-l prezentăm pe Dragomir Negru, unul dintre tinerii care cred că implicarea nu începe „cândva, mai târziu”, ci chiar acum.

🎓 Student la Facultatea de Drept a Universității de Stat din Moldova, Dragomir este pasionat de cercetarea juridică și implicat activ în viața studențească și în inițiative civice. Pentru el, anii de studenție înseamnă nu doar formare profesională, ci și participare, dialog și asumarea unui rol activ în comunitate.

La Forumul Tinerilor din Diasporă și de Acasă, de la Milano, Dragomir va avea rolul de moderator, ghidând dialogul dintre tinerii din Republica Moldova și cei din diasporă, între experiențe diferite, idei și perspective asupra viitorului.

💬 Iar mesajul care îl reprezintă spune poate cel mai bine ce înseamnă să fii tânăr și să ai curajul de a merge înainte:
„Nu-ți fie teamă că înaintezi prea încet, teme-te dacă te oprești.” — Sun Tzu

Ne vedem la Milano, într-un Forum în care tinerii nu vor fi doar spectatori, ci voci ale dialogului și participanți la construirea viitorului!!!🇲🇩🇮🇹
