This is also a wonderful occasion to further promote the Romanian arts and
culture (old and new), the Romanian
true history, as well as the Romanian ancestral traditions.
“In a
multicultural global space, the preservation of the identity and mother tongue
transmitted by parents and ancestors is a distinctive central element, an
expression of the uniqueness and preservation of the values of each people.”
„Nu spun că
alte limbi, alte vorbiri nu ar fi minunate și frumoase. Dar atît de proprie,
atît de familiară, atît de intimă îmi este limba în care m-am născut, încît nu
o pot considera altfel decît iarbă. Noi, de fapt, avem două părți coincidente,
odată este patrie de pămînt și de piatră și încă odată este numele patriei de
pămînt și de piatră. Numele patriei este tot patrie. O patrie fără de nume nu
este o patrie. Limba română este patria mea. De aceea, pentru mine, muntele
munte se zice, de aceea, pentru mine iarba iarbă se spune, de aceea, pentru
mine izvorul izvorăște, de aceea, pentru mine viața se trăiește.” (Nichita Stănescu)

Day
is “celebrated nationally on August 31, starting from the year 2013 when the
law establishing this holiday was enacted. The programs and
cultural-educational events, with evocative or scientific characteristics,
dedicated to this day emphasize the importance of the Romanian language not

and national identity”. (Source: Business Reviews News)
