Goal of the Activity

We wanted to combine the cultural part of the 1st of March with a Responsible Party

Description

 Mărțișor traces its history more than 8,000 years ago. Some ethnologists believe that the Mărțișor celebration has Roman origins, others support the theory that it is an old Dacian tradition. In ancient Rome, the New Year's was celebrated on the 1st of March.

The Martisor Symbol: At its core, the Martisor is a small, red and white trinket, often crafted with intricate designs and adorned with symbols of nature, fertility, and protection. The contrasting red and white threads symbolize the duality of life – the purity of winter snow and the vitality of spring.

We presented our International students the Martisor tradition. The dresscode for the party was red & white
