The ”Be the Big Brother" soul project, organized by the LSFETc Students Organization, reached the 10th edition. This year was an anniversary one and took place on June 1 2019. About 120 children from the placement centers in Timis and Caras-Severin counties were expected by 60 volunteers of LSFETc in front of the UPT Electro Building to celebrate Children's Day. Even though the weather was rainy, it did not prevent the little ones from enjoying the moments spent in the company of the students, on the hall of Politehnica University Timișoara.

The children participated in various fun and interactive activities organized by volunteers, especially to improve their teamwork, creativity, self-confidence, overcoming their fears and having fun with ”older brothers".

Among the main objectives of the project we mention to strengthen civic spirit among students and to draw attention to the importance of integrating children from placement centers into society. At the same time, through this project, LSFETc wants to encourage young people to engage in volunteering, showing them the personal and professional benefits that they can bring. This action benefits both the children and foster care centers, as well as the volunteers involved in the project.

LSFETc has proposed through the project to send a message to the society regarding the disadvantaged young people, but also to give children the opportunity to spend a day in the academic environment, to develop their skills, to motivate them to follow the path of higher education by presenting the benefits. Besides these, the students wanted to give their children a ”different" day in which to ignore their home environment and bring them a smile on their lips.
