We have many old sites in the Republic of Moldova, and we, today\u2019s students, will become specialists in restoration and will revitalize these historic sites,\u201d said an impressed Cristian Bogaciu, a student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The workers told the students how they worked on restoring the bell tower in Vadul Ra\u0219cov, how they arranged the stones like pieces of a puzzle. They fitted stone to stone to preserve the site\u2019s authenticity, and the joints were filled with just three \u201cingredients\u201d \u2013 water, lime, and stone dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1_T8g_bU2_JD2p6nPdcu9Acg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-152088\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1_T8g_bU2_JD2p6nPdcu9Acg.webp 640w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1_T8g_bU2_JD2p6nPdcu9Acg-300x200.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Field visits, validating a professional calling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the young people, this experience was a confirmation of the path they\u2019ve chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Damir Fusu comes from a family where the concept of construction isn\u2019t abstract. \u201cMy father owns a construction company, so from a young age I saw how things are built, how people work in this field, and I helped out whenever I could. It\u2019s a risky profession, but it\u2019s nice to know that someone is living in a house you built,\u201d Damir says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dina Corole\u021bchi is one of the few women who chose the profession of restorer: \u201cIt\u2019s very interesting to breathe new life into a building; when you restore it to its former glory, making it look brand-new while using the same materials from back then and preserving all the memories it holds. I enjoyed today\u2019s field trip because I learned about the history of wood, all the stages it goes through, and how it\u2019s processed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniel Bulmaga, for his part, says that what he saw with his own eyes exceeded his expectations: \u201cIn the theoretical lessons, we mostly saw pictures: what it looks like, how it\u2019s restored, but in real life, it wasn\u2019t until today that I saw the entire restoration process unfold. From what the specialists have told me, it seems like a pretty complicated process; from what I understand, some elements are very, very hard to find, but it\u2019s an interesting field and very well-paid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1_Vzu_svXRuzOZKLolM1jQ0A-1024x683.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-152085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1_Vzu_svXRuzOZKLolM1jQ0A-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1_Vzu_svXRuzOZKLolM1jQ0A-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1_Vzu_svXRuzOZKLolM1jQ0A-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1_Vzu_svXRuzOZKLolM1jQ0A-1536x1025.webp 1536w, https:\/\/eu4moldova.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1_Vzu_svXRuzOZKLolM1jQ0A.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The specialization in construction restoration has been missing from the educational offerings of the Center of Excellence in Construction until now.

Similar study visits are planned for students on the left bank as well, with these activities aimed at the professional development of young specialists in the restoration and conservation of cultural heritage on both banks of the Nistru River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The European Union and UNDP are currently supporting the restoration of four historical cultural heritage sites on both banks of the Nistru River.
