THE PALACE OF CHILDREN, IAŞI<br />
"The Palace of children is an educational institution which<br />
deals specific instructive‐ educational activities outside school classes,<br />
where children complete their knowledge and go thoroughly into<br />
some domains, develop skills according to their calling and options and<br />
where their spare time may be organized in educational programs.<br />
These free activities may be attended, according to their own choice by<br />
children under the school‐age, elementary school children, middle<br />
school, vocational school and high school students as well as children<br />
coming from orphanages, irrespective of nationality, sex and religion,<br />
according to their interest, skills and preferences.“ (Excerpt from the<br />
Regulations of organisation and functioning of Clubs and Palaces of<br />
Children)<br />
Founded in 1953 under the denomination of the House of<br />
Pioneers with only seven clubs, the present Palace of Children has<br />
undergone dramatic changes as far as the number of clubs and their<br />
diversity is concerned.<br />
Nowadays the Palace of Children functions with sixty clubs<br />
focused on cultural, artistic, technical, practical, scientific, sportive and<br />
touristic domains. They appeal to the 76.154 children in kindergardens,<br />
elementary schools, middle schools, vocational schools and high<br />
schools in laşi.<br />
The institution owns the apparatus and materials necessary for<br />
the good working of the clubs. At present, the Palace of Children has<br />
connections with similar institutions in 12 countries on 3 continents.<br />
