The mystery of existence

Lucian Blaga-  a poet, philosopher, translator, and dramatist, Romanian writer Lucian Blaga (1895–1961) narrowly missed winning the 1956 Nobel Prize for Literature because of Soviet government interference. Blaga created the field of philosophy of culture and the concept of Mioritic Space, both of which became key concepts in the development of a Romanian national identity. I don't want to describe his poetry because I think his poem speaks for itself. :) 

I do not destroy the crown of miracles of the world
and I don’t kill
by my mind the mysteries I come across
along with my path
in the flowers, in the eyes, on the lips or graves.
Others’ light
suffocate the spell of the incomprehensible hidden
in deepness of dark,
but me,
with my light I increase the world’s mystery -
and the way the moon by its white rays
do not diminish, but shivering
increases the mystery of night,
the same way I enrich the dark horizon
by deep shivers of sacred mystery
and all that is impossible to understand
becomes more incomprehensible
under my eyes -
since I love
flowers and eyes and lips and graves.

Nuieluşa- workshops of Romanian traditional decoration

On 5 December 2014 in the lobby of Collegium Novum took place the workshops of Romanian traditional decoration, organized by the Students Scientific Society UAM.

Nuieluşa is a decoration made of twigs and various additives: ribbons, bows, strings, etc., It is prepared on Day of Santa Claus. Nuieluşele are preparing throughout Romania, and are giving for your loved ones, friends. Undoubtedly, there are not many countries in Europe, but also in the world that can boast of such kind of tradition. What can we learn from the Romanians is the ability of the joy of the small things that make up the amazing atmosphere. In fact, to do the decoration we needn't many things, and it's not just about the materials, but about commitment, joy and smile. That's all we have tried to transmit all our participants. See yourself if we managed to do this ...;)

Endangered Languages

According to the report prepared by UNESCO, by the end of this century half of 6000 languages will disappear. Currently 96% of languages spoken throughout the earth are used by only 3% of people. There are languages that use only a few people. The highest number of languages that are endangered, was recored in Australia - namely the Aboriginal population. The situation is very similar in Equatorial Africa and Amazonia. The scientists estimates show that every two weeks dies one language with the oldest inhabitants who know the language's rules. Obviously disappearing languages are replaced with the most popular: English, Chinese or Spanish.

It is interesting that  two years ago Google has created a special Internet platform called ”Endangered Languages Project”. On this site you can search and post audio and video recorded in endangered languages. According to UNESCO, in Poland are threatened two languages: Kashubian and Silesian.
