Romania is a country of stark contrasts—with great natural beauty, rich mythology, and crumbling communist-era apartment blocks and crippled industrial zones set side by side. The New Horizon Foundation's semester in Romania makes its home in the city of Lupeni, located in the depressed coal-mining region of the Jiu Valley in southeastern Romania. Students live amidst the paradoxes, visiting ancient churches and castles and monasteries while working with young people to transform trash-laden vacant lots into public gardens, camping in majestic national parklands while bonding with young Romanians in an urban youth center. Students experience first-hand both the devastating effects of Romania’s harsh past and the patient courage of those who are helping to reconstruct their homeland.
