The local House of Culture in Carmanova village situated on the left bank of the Nistru River was refurbished in the framework of the EU-funded Support to Confidence Building Measures Program, implemented by UNDP Moldova, IPN reports.
“Under the name of Neudorf, Carmanova was founded more than 200 years ago by German people mainly from Germany and France (Alsace), but also by families from Poland and Hungary. Hence, this renovation of the house of culture in Carmanova has a special significance for the European Union and its Member States: it is a symbol of the long common history that we have with this territory and its inhabitants, and it is a concrete proof that this history is continuing day-by-day, through our common work for the improvement of the living conditions of the population,” said Fabien Schaeffer, project manager at the European Union Delegation in the Republic of Moldova.
The European Union has offered financial support of €150,795 to renovate the building. It was built in the 1970s and has never been repaired until now.
The building was connected to water supply or sewerage and has a modern heating system. “Now, thanks to a constant thermal regime, the paintings, costumes and other items are well preserved. There are ten creative teams engaged in producing: paintings in kinusaiga Japanese style, “sand art” bottles, and many others. Canto and dancing activities as well as concerts are organized in a comfortable ambience,” noted Natalia Stoian, head of the House of Culture.
The Carmanova House of Culture is one of over 80 infrastructural projects renovated in the framework of the EU-funded Support to Confidence Building Measures Program.
