Precongress – Mamaia (17. – 19. 8. 2012) – 120 Euro

Mamaia is a summer resort on the western shore of the Black Sea . It is located north of Constanta , Romania . Mamaia is an independent city district of Constanta but very few permanent residents (under 50), but was overcrowded during the summer. Construction of residential, taking place today on the shores of Lake Siutghiol , will likely change this situation.
Mamaia is a strip of land between the Black Sea and Lake Siutghiol with a length of 8 km, but only 300 m wide beach very long, with a width up to 250 m is covered with fine sand. Over this are many shops, restaurants, terraces, clubs and discos.

Congress – Bucharest (19. – 24. 8. 2012) – 370 Euro

Bucharest is the capital of Romania and at the same time, the largest city , industrial and commercial center of the country. Population of 1,944,367 inhabitants (est. January 1, 2009 [4] ) is that Bucharest is the sixth most populous city in the European Union . In fact, however, Bucharest gathered daily over three million people, and experts predict that over the next five years, the total will exceed four million. [5] . Add to this the fact that villages around the city, which will be part of future Metropolitan Area , population totals about 430,000 people. [6]
The first mention of the village is in 1459 . In 1862 became the capital of Romania. Since then undergoes constant change, the center stage of art, culture and media . Between the two world wars, elegant architecture and elite Bucharest brought him the nickname “Little Paris”. Currently, capital has the same administrative level as a county and is divided into six sectors

Postcongress –  Bucovina (24. – 26. 8. 2012) – 120 Euro

There is Indeed no other place in the world than Bucovina in Northern Moldavia, where a group of Orthodox monasteries with their exterior mural paintings are to be seen. These Painted Monasteries are part of UNESCO’s World Heritage for their rarity and beauty. Another group are the Wooden Churches of Maramures, unique examples that combine Gothic style with traditional timber construction.

With many photos and extensive information this website presents the unique and rich cultural heritage of Bucovina, Maramures, and Romania in general – extensive travel information and guides, pictures, monasteries, churches, attractions and destinations all over Romania.

Bucovina is among the most attractive and frequented touristic area on Romania’s map. It is not by chance that this area, famous today in the whole world, was honored in 1975 with the international “Pomme d’Or” prize, by the International Federation of Journalists and Writers of Tourism and the ancient architectural monuments with inside and outside frescoes, from this part of the world were appointed by UNESCO in the list of the universal art monuments.

Keeper of ancient civilization, where history and legend merge together, Suceava district holds evidences of man’s presence from ancient times.The 96 incineration tombs found out at Zvoristea, as well as the archaeological discoveries in Silistea Scheii, Suceava , Bosanci and Dolhestii Mari, prove that Thracian –Geta and Dacian settlements existed there a long time ago.

The lands of Suceava represented the places where Moldavia became an independent and feudal state in the 14th century. Locations such as Baia, Siret, Suceava, Radauti still keep edifices (fortresses, church foundations, princely homes) dating the time of the first Moldavian voivods. Other localities, such as Putna, became a strong manifestation for Romanian people’s sense for an united nation. To this common sense many important persons contributed: Mihai Eminescu, Mihai Slavici, Ciprian Porumbescu and some other young people that came here all over Romanian lands. This fact strongly expresses the active role the people from these lands have played along the history.

Dental volunteer work is designed to help the people in need of dental treatment, and through it young graduates and students can gain clinical experience as well. Living in developing country, you’ll witness the impact of poverty on dental health. Dentists struggle to convey message about the very basic of oral hygiene ( even in the situation which lack of health care education and financial exist).This kind of condition shows that the number of cases is way higher and also means that patient have considerably further advance cases than likely seen in western world.

International Dental Summer School organized by Muhammadiyah University of Yogyakarta has already provided a Dental Voluntary Project since 2010. The activities were conducted in a village or a remote area that indeed had a high number of dental cases. we had 2 Voluntary Works that treated over 350 patients in both IDSS 2010 and IDSS 2011. This year, International Association of Dental Students (IADS) is collaborating with IDSS for an International Voluntary Project. This hauls a challenge to the organizer to serve a higher quality of the program. Therefore, with some intensive discussion and meetings, the Organizer decided to make this dental voluntary project bigger than previous years in which IDSS 2012 Dental Voluntary work will take place in 4 different places with the target of over 600 patients treated this year.

26 International Students coming from 13 countries already experienced IDSS Dental Voluntary Works in 2010 and 2011. The responses were very positive. They learned a lot how to treat the patients in remote places with very simple facility.  The mechanism of work was already framed in Standard Operational Procedure. The participants were divided into 2 portions of work. This was according to the years they belong to. For preclinical year students (assumed as non-clinical exposed student), the options were on Sterilization, Physical Examination, Operator Assistance, Prescription, and Public Dissemination (to do such fun dental health education with villagers). For clinical Students and Fresh Graduate(Young Dentist), they’re allowed to handle curative treatment such as Atraumatic Restoration Treatment (ART) , 3 Mix MP / Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair Restoration  and extraction.

The voluntary activities were all actually the extension of skill lab activity in which after getting the basic knowledge and skill training, the students are expected to become all capable to do anything needed in voluntary work. Therefore the participant must follow all of the class, skills lab and other activities in educational program before getting involved in voluntary works. The application of IDSS 2012 has already started and the vacancies are still available. The Application deadline is 11th May 2012.The Educational Program costs 380 € and includes 3 weeks stay at Hotel , breakfast , educational transportation and program ( Fee doesn’t include Visa and Tour). IDSS 2012 also offers a Non Educational/Social program that costs only 100 €. For more information, we welcome everyone to contact us.
