WELCOME LETTER
“Dear SCORAngels,
We believe in the power of youth commitment to ensure a proper sexual education and health conditions.
Being concerned and aware of the increasing data within the reproductive health field, we want to
empower you to be the change and take real action. Through SCORA X-Change program, Romania would
like to invite you to stand up for the proper sexual healthcare system that our world so strongly needs.
We are convinced that a great impact is constructed by our hard work on advocacy and raising awareness
thanks to the actions and the people who contribute to achieve it. Therefore, by connecting different
cultures and ideas we would like to challenge the participants of the program to give their best in making a
small step towards better local, national and international health systems.
Our organizing committee has one great goal. To unite our forces and to achieve both the personal
development, as well as building capacity to ensure our society’s welfare. Romania has a lot to offer in this
perspective, especially when the help is needed and there are a few promoters in the selected field. The need
of aid, guidance and support is well-known in our national healthcare scheme and it provides significant
examples and situations that can lead to a better outcome of the project, gaining benefits in the same time.
In addition, we strongly believe that by joining our exchange, besides gaining the SCORA experience, you
can enjoy a great social and cultural program, as well as becoming part of a family of SCORAngels.
This summer, SCORA X-Change Romanian team will try to combine novelty with diversity,
multiculturalism and medical realities, offering the opportunity to every student that wants to improve his
knowledges and skills.

AGENDA
IASI
13.07-17.07
Bucharest is Romania’s largest city and capital. Known in the past as “The
Little Paris”, Bucharest has changed a lot lately, and today it has become a
very interesting mix of old and new. Finding a 300 year old church, a steel-
and-glass office buildings and Communist-era apartment blocks next to one
another is a common sight. Bucharest offers some excellent attractions, and
has, in recent years, cultivated a sophisticated, trendy, and modern
sensibility that many have come to expect from a European capital.
We invite you to discover the best attractions in Bucharest including The
Palace of Parliament which is the biggest administrative construction in
Europe and the world’s second biggest after the Pentagon building in
Washington, and The lipscani area, the oldest remaining part of Bucharest,
known as the “historical center”, famed for its nightlife.
BUCHAREST
18.07-22.07
One of the largest cities of Romania and the capital of Dolj County, Craiova
is located in the southern part of the country, at approximately equal
distances from the Southern Carpathians(nor th) and the River
Danube(south). It is a longstanding political centre, the chief commercial city
and the most important city of Oltenia. The university town of Craiova,
prides itself on the strong academic tradition and wealth of important
historical figures who passed through here on their journey to fame: the
world-famous sculptor Constantin Brancusi - who studied at the Craiova Art
School and carved his first sculptures here, and Craiova-born Petrache
Poenaru - inventor of the first cartridge fountain pen. The most important
landmark is Nicolae Romanescu Park – the largest natural park in eastern
Europe. This park has a few interesting features: The Suspended Bridge
(photo), the Charmed Castle, the Craiova Hippodrome and the Zoo.
