Study Visit in moldova 

Knowledge Exchange in Chișinău: Recap of the REBUILD Study Visit 

Chișinău, Moldova – From March 24th to 26th, the REBUILD project partners gathered for an intensive study visit hosted by the Center of Excellence in Construction (Centrul de Excelenţă în Construcţii). This visit marked a significant step in our mission to foster sustainable reconstruction and modernize vocational education and training (VET).

Bridging Heritage and Modernity

During the three-day program, our international team – representing Italy, Austria, Poland, Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova – explored a diverse range of architectural and educational sites:

• VET Excellence: We explored the facilities of the Center of Excellence in Construction, discussing innovative teaching methods and the integration of energy-efficient building techniques into curricula.

• Architectural Conservation: A technical visit to the 17th-century wooden church in Vorniceni provided deep insights into the challenges of preserving Moldova's architectural heritage.

• Historical Fortifications: At the Soroca Fortress, participants studied medieval construction and the meticulous stages of its recent restoration.

• Rural & Industrial Revitalization: From the revitalized historic shelters of "Hobitton Moldovenesc" in Rogojeni to the Steam Mill and Manuc Bei Manor, we examined how traditional sites can be brought back to life sustainably.

• Academic Modernization: The visit concluded at the State Pedagogical University "I. Creangă", where we observed ongoing revitalization projects on campus.

What’s Next?

As we move forward, we are finalizing our REBUILD Learning Platform (Moodle). Following a testing phase in September, official registration for the public will open in October.
