Printre activitatile organizate enumeram: panoul “Mesajul meu pentru o lume buna” in cadrul caruia fiecare participant a scris sau desenat propriul mesaj pentru o lume buna, distribuirea a 200 de materiale promotionale destinate prevenirii traficului de persoane, 70 de brosuri “Whymper”, 100 de creioane “Fa o fapta buna”, 100 de mape.

In data de 31 mai 2010 14 studenti ai Universitatii Rutgers, New Jersey insotiti de prof. univ. Rebecca Davis au participat la masa rotunda “Drepturile omului si rolul organizatiilor neguvernamentale” organizata de Centrul Ratiu pentru Democratie ca activitate in cadrul programului Summer Study Abroad 2010.
Evenimentul a favorizat comunicarea, schimbul de idei si de experiente in trei domenii: egalitatea de gen, traficul de persoane si activitatile organizatiilor neguvernamentale din Romania din perspectiva drepturilor omului.
In urma acestui eveniment, studentii au manifestat un real interes fata de subiectele abordate si s-au alaturat Centrului Ratiu pentru Democratie in lupta impotriva traficului de persoane sub forma unor actiuni de voluntariat sau de practica profesionala coordonata.
Kimberly Spirito , Eunji Kim si Matthew Hundemann sunt trei dintre studentii interesati de actiunile de mobilizare a comunitatii impotriva traficului de persoane.
Datorita bunei colaborari cu Liceul Josika Miklos din municipiul Turda, Kim si Eunji au moderat un grup de discutii pe tema traficului de persoane informand 20 de elevi despre modalitatile de scadere a riscului de victimizare in randul comunitatii in care traiesc.
Monday, May 17th, 2010: following the "Do a good deed!" fundraising campaign which awards prizes for student participation, students Kiss Tamas, Szabo Istvan, Alina Boldor, Manuel Ciortea and Razvan Maior received prizes from Ratiu Center for Democracy through the „Not for sale-Choose for your own sake!” program. "Do a good deed!" campaign took place between the 15th of April and 14th of May in four schools in the town of Turda: The Josika Miklos Theoretical Highschool, the EmilNegrutiuTechnicalCollege, the MihaiViteazulNationalCollege and the LiviuRebreanuTheoreticalCollege. Students who received prizes were chosen through a draw which occurred in the presence of a Commission made up of three members of the RatiuCenter for Democracy. The donated prizes awarded to the students included: giftcards for salon services at the Venus Turda salon, a hair curler, webcam, watch and ladies’ wallet.
Having the Campaign in schools drew students’ attention to the needs and problems of victims of human trafficking and offered them the opportunity to join the initiative of the RatiuCenter for Democracy in supporting these victims.
The fundraising campaign was initiated to support the creation of an association which would offer assistance to the victims of human trafficking. Exploited persons suffer from complex psychological traumas which makes reintegration into society difficult. The future association will enhance human trafficking victims’ chances to benefit from necessary social services. A total of 190 RON was raised.
The fundraiser for the association continues through the Do a Good Deed blog. On the website, crafts,jewelry,cosmetics and other objects may be donated and bid upon. The Do a Good Deed Campaign! is coordinated by the RatiuCenter for Democracy team in charge of the Not for Sale-Choose for Your Own Sake program, a program which aims to mobilize the community against human trafficking.
Blogway, an instant blogging service, aims to support the development of the Romanian blogosphere through the creation of a strong community to be promoted online and offline. Thank you Blogway!

La activitate au participat 20 de tinere din municipiul Campia Turzii, un mediator scolar pentru comunitatea roma, un cadru didactic si psihologul scolii.
In cadrul activitatii au fost difuzate spoturi video si audio, s-au discutat aspecte legate de traficul de persoane (definitia si etapele traficului, aspecte preventive, tel.verde) si s-au difuzat fragmente din marturiile victimelor traficului de persoane din seria “Fiintele umane nu au pret”. Elevii au fost foarte receptivi, iar cadrele didactice ne-au propus desfasurarea de activitati similare in cursul anului scolar viitor.
Informarea si apelarea la institutiile abilitate pentru a cere un sfat profesionist ofera persoanelor siguranta si diminueaza riscurile de a deveni victime ale traficului de persoane.

Each participating institution had its own stand where representatives explained their role to children in an attractive manner, through demonstrations or service offerings. The RatiuCenter for Democracy was represented through the “Not for Sale-Choose for your Own Sake” program. Among the activities were: the “Message for a better world” board, on which each participant wrote or drew their message for a better world, as well as the distribution of 200 flyers on the prevention of human trafficking, 70 “Whymper” books, 100 “Do a Good Deed” pencils and folders.

Cluj, The Ambulance Service Cluj, Cluj County School Inspectorate, Romanian Post Cluj, Cluj Napoca Orthodox Church, Cluj Napoca National Theater, ClujNapocaArt Museum, AMICUS Association Cluj Napoca. The ClujNapocaRegionalCenter of the National Agency against Human Trafficking, The Prevention, Evaluation and Anti-DrugCounselingCenter Cluj Napoca,. The RatiuCenter for Democracy Turda and other non-governmental organizations from Cluj county.
May 31st 2010: 14 students of RutgersUniversity (New Jersey) and prof. Rebecca Davis participated in a round-table discussion entitled “Human rights and the role of non-governmental organizations”. The event was organized by RatiuCenter for Democracy for the Summer Study Abroad 2010 program. The event enabled an exchange of ideas and experiences in three fields: gender equality, human trafficking and the activity of non-governmental organizations in Romania in the field of human rights.
Following the event, the students showed great interest towards the subjects discussed and joined the RatiuCenter for Democracy in the fight against human trafficking through volunteering activities and coordinated professional practice.
Kimberly Spirito , Eunji Kim and Matthew Hundemann are three of the students interested in the activities to mobilize the community against human trafficking.
Due to the good collaboration with the Josika Miklos Highschool in Turda, Kim and Eunji moderated a discussion group on the topic of human trafficking, thus informing 20 students on the methods to decrease the risks of victimization in the communities where they live.
June 3rd, 2010: Ratiu Center for Democracy, in collaboration with the Cluj Napoca Regional Center of the National Agency Against Human Trafficking, the Association for the Promotion of Social Inclusion Campia Turzii and the Victor Ungureanu Technical College, organized a prevention activity in Campia Turzii, Cluj county. Twenty young women from Campia Turzii, a school mediator for the Roma community, a teacher and the school psychologist participated.
Throughout the activity audio and video spots were broadcast, aspects of human trafficking were discussed (definition and trafficking stages, prevention methods, toll-free numbers) and fragmets of trafficked victims’ testimonies from the „Human beings have no price” series were shown. The students were very interested and the teachers suggested that similar activities take place throughout the coming school year. Becoming informed and contacting the institutions in charge for advice, offers women security and diminishes the risk of becoming victims of human trafficking.
