The “crisis” dictionary is a brief journey into Romania’s post-communist transition.

The first 20 years of freedom were like a “wild west,” the tremors of which haven’t completely ceased. The dictionary inventories over 100 terms, accompanied by illustrations, that defined the period – the taste of TEC juice or Turbo gum, the movies, and the “musics” that bombarded us.

The project trained 30 high school teachers to work with young people to understand the evolution of Romanian society through this book – an innovative civic education tool. The teachers received 1000 printed guides for students and digital resources for their lessons.
