The patriotic spirit and love for the nation will be promoted by a new association called Youth Movement “Successors of Stefan”. This was registered with the Ministry of Justice at the start of last month. The main objectives of the organization and the program of the future activities were presented in a news conference at IPN.
Association member Dumitru Roibu said the Youth Movement “Successors of Stefan” is based exclusively on voluntarism and free association of people. “We aim to bring together and involve in our activities young people from the country who are not indifferent to the different problems faced by Moldovan society. Special emphasis is placed on patriotism, love for the country and support for what this country lives on,” he stated.
The team that founded the association aims to engage young people in different information campaigns and development projects so as to build a solid class of young people able to cope with the challenges of time. “We set clear objectives to consolidate society, the young people, and to ultimately build a society without conflicts and discrepancies,” said Dumitru Roibu.
Member Victor Cociul said the Youth Movement “Successors of Stefan” is based on such principles as promotion of cooperation in the youth sector, promotion of active citizenship and education of young people in the spirit of Moldovan patriotism, promotion of ethnic tolerance and nondiscrimination, the country’s reunification and youth initiatives at international level.
Member Alina Tabacari called on the young people who care about Moldova’s fate to join in the initiative. She said it is very important for the young people to mobilize and become involved in the cultivation of civic responsibility.
The association’s program for the immediate future includes activities to recruit young people by disseminating information among education institutions, to work out grants projects to stage training seminars for lyceum students on how to write a high-quality CV and activities involving national experts in fighting youth manipulation.
