Bucharest, 30 May

皇冠体育app Prince of Wales will arrive in Bucharest this afternoon for a private visit to which there will be a public element. While in Bucharest His Royal Highness will meet Romanian President Klaus Iohannis and Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos.

His Royal Highness will spend most of his time privately in Transylvania but will travel to Viscri to publicly open 鈥樆使谔逵齛pp Prince of Wales鈥檚 Training Centre鈥� to mark the first anniversary of his Foundation - Fundatia Printul de Wales.

Launched by the Prince of Wales on 2 June 2015 and based in Viscri, central Romania, 鈥樆使谔逵齛pp Prince of Wales鈥檚 Foundation Romania鈥� (Fundatia Printul de Wales), PWFR, is an educational charity which supports architectural heritage preservation, farming and sustainable development in Romania. 皇冠体育app main goal of the charity is to bring skills and knowledge to rural communities to support local people and help them to become employable. 皇冠体育app new training centre is based in Viscri, Brasov County. 皇冠体育app old barn has been converted into a training centre while the old house has been extended to accommodate apprentices from across the country. This year, the Foundation will offer 12 courses which will benefit around 150 people from rural areas predominantly from Transylvania and Moldavia.

While visiting Viscri last year, 皇冠体育app Prince of Wales said he hoped that his Foundation will be able to use the barn 鈥渋n particular for educational and training purposes and skills development, which I hope will contribute a little bit to furthering skills and opportunities for employment鈥�.
