In the vibrant city of Sibiu, where cultures blend and friendships form, the Sibiu International Friends group is taking an exciting step forward. We are thrilled to announce our participation in the Sibiu Marathon, not just as athletes but as ambassadors of a cause close to our hearts: the "Vrem să învățăm limba Română" project.

Uniting for a Cause

Our project, "Vrem să învățăm limba Română" (We Want to Learn Romanian), is dedicated to breaking down language barriers and fostering deeper connections within our diverse community. By offering free Romanian language courses for A1 and A2 levels, we aim to support all foreigners, immigrants, and migrants living in Sibiu in their journey to integrate and embrace the local culture.

A Community Effort

This initiative was born out of the collective vision of Sibiu International Friends, a group created by a dynamic mix of expatriates, immigrants, migrants, and local Romanians on Facebook two years ago. Our goal was to create a supportive space where people from all walks of life could share experiences, socialize, and support each other in a new environment.

Making Strides Together

As we lace up our running shoes for the marathon, we're not just aiming to cross the finish line; we're running to raise awareness and support for this project. Our participation symbolizes our commitment to inclusivity, cultural adaptation, and mutual support — values that lie at the heart of our community.

A Journey of Learning and Growth

Since its inception, "Vrem să învățăm limba Română" has evolved significantly. Starting with no financial resources, our group has facilitated access to free Romanian language courses, thanks to the generous contribution of a teacher who offered to lead these classes voluntarily. This initiative has enabled us to address a crucial need within our community, helping new arrivals navigate their new life in Sibiu with greater ease and confidence.

Looking Ahead

As we embark on this journey together, our participation in the Sibiu Marathon is more than just a physical challenge; it's a celebration of our collective spirit and dedication to making Sibiu a welcoming home for everyone. Through the "Vrem să învățăm limba Română" project, we strive to enhance cultural understanding, work opportunities, educational pursuits, family integration, and social connections.

Join Us

We invite you to join us in this meaningful endeavor. Whether by running alongside us, cheering from the sidelines, or supporting our language learning project, your involvement makes a difference. Together, we can turn the streets of Sibiu into a vibrant tapestry of cultures, united in our diversity and our shared journey of discovery and belonging.

Let's make every step count at the Sibiu Marathon and beyond, as we continue to learn, grow, and thrive together in our beloved city.
