Copenhaga / Copenhagen

Ziua Roşiei Montane a fost sărbătorită şi în străinătate, la Copenhaga, fiind găzduită de KEA (Copenhagen School of Design and Technology). Evenimentul a debutat cu o prezentare despre Roşia Montană şi opoziţia la proiectul minier, continuând cu proiecţia filmului Roşia Montană, un loc la marginea prăpastiei (r. Fabian Daub, Germania, 2012) şi încheind cu o dezbatere atât despre ameninţarea pe care proiectul minier o reprezintă, cât şi despre alternativele de dezvoltare durabilă a zonei, în special prin turism. Peste 60 de persoane au luat parte la Ziua Roşiei Montane în Copenhaga.

On the occasion of Roșia Montană’s Day, it was organised a first-ever Roșia Montană related event in Copenhagen, as a way to let the people of Copenhagen know about the mining plans in Roșia. The event took place at KEA (Copenhagen School of Design and Technology) on February 6th from 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm. In the first part of the event there was a short presentation about Roșia Montană and the campaign opposing the gold extraction led by Save Roșia Montană Campaign shortly followed by the screening of Roșia Montană, Town on the Brink, a film by Fabian Daub.

During the debate, different points of view were heard ranging from fierce adversity towards the mining project and alternatives for a genuine sustainable local development to a clear approval of the project. Such an alternative proposed by one of the participants was to improve and develop the tourist potential of Roșia Montana and its beautiful surroundings, thus increasing its capacity to receive incoming national and foreign visitors.
