ABOUT US
Curtea Veche Association was founded in 2014 with the goal of promoting reading out of pleasure among children. Our long term objectives are:
√ Making a habit out of reading for children and for families;
√ Decreasing the rate of functional illiteracy and increasing the number of fluent readers and good communicators;
√ Facilitating access to books through donations for children that come from poor families or disadvantaged groups.
MISSION / VISION
We consider that we are all responsible of what happens to future generation if kids stop reading today.Our vision is a world where every child is able to enjoy the changing experience of a book read for pleasure.
NATIONAL READING PROGRAM
Based on a special collection of the greatest retold literary works from the universal literature, the program we created – the National Reading Program CHILDHOOD CLASSICS – is adapted for the level of understanding of children aged 7 to 14. In order to prove to the little ones that reading is fun, we challenge them to draw, to create the perfect soundtrack, to write their own stories, to stage a play or to defend their favourite characters.
The program aims at promoting reading as a fun way of spending spare time and, at the same time,
at facilitating access to books for children from underprivileged communities by the means of book donations.

PROJECTS
NATIONAL READING PROGRAM
The ‘Childhood Classics’ National Reading Program is meant to offer all children in Romania, regardless of their social background, an equal opportunity to a better future, through reading andis based on a special collection of retold famous titles adapted for children aged 7 to 14.
NARATIV READING CAMP
During one whole week, 20 children take part in a series of fun and creative activities that conclude with a theater performance. Using the final event as a pretext, children learn how to analyze and dramatize a text and, more importantly, how to understand and interpret a character in a written story.

A child who reads comes to understand that he or she has a choice in life, that there are always different paths from which to choose. Sport and reading have something in common: once you make a habit out of them, they become a trustworthy partner and guide. George Ogăraru

So far, we have managed to offer thousands of books to children in the rural areas, and the way they reacted to the events has determined us to go forward. With every step we take during this project, we feel that we offer an extra opportunity to these children. It is important to understand that the chance they were given can only be turned into an actual advantage with the active support of their parents and their teachers.

This program has opened the hearts and minds of children, it has brought them closer to books, it helped some of them open their first volume ever. I say this knowing that throughout rural Romania, there are still kids who’ve never had any books in their home aside from school manuals. We thank you from the bottom […]
