«Paparudă, rudă, vino de ne udă»: firefighters close out the children's summer at an Ungheni library

At Branch No. 2 of the Ungheni city library, a week of summer activities ended on Friday with a demonstration by Emergency Situations firefighters — the truck, the gear and the water jet — followed by the old «Paparuda», the rain-calling ritual. It looks like holiday play; it is, in fact, one node of a national prevention campaign through which IGSU has trained more than 121,000 children since the start of the school year. It reached the children of Ungheni too, days after an orange-code heatwave.

Ungheni Vocational School opens 2026 admission: nine trades and an online application from 20 July

The district's only vocational school has announced its 2026 admission: nine trades — from welder, electrician and car mechanic to IT operator and dual-system seamstress — with applications filed from 20 July, exclusively online, through the national platform eadmitere.sime.md. Behind it lies a state bet: for the 2026–2027 school year the Government approved 12,282 state-funded places in vocational education, of which 2,669 are in the dual system — 535 more than last year. Here is what you can study, which documents you need, how much the file costs and who has priority.

America Turns 250. What Connects It to Ungheni — from an Oscar to a Fire Station

On 4 July, American Corner Ungheni marked «Freedom 250» — 250 years since U.S. independence. Behind a one-day reception, however, lies a story few people in Ungheni know: a screenwriter born in Ungheni wrote «The Apartment» and won an Oscar in Hollywood; in 1877 the Russo-Turkish war passed through Ungheni station, and an American officer wrote about it; from the old market town people left for New York and Philadelphia. And over the past three decades, America has left concrete traces — from bus stops and a fire station to an «American Corner» in the library. A documented inventory of what has been confirmed and what remains legend.

Ten Ungheni students with straight 10s honoured at the first excellence gala — and there are now six at the Baccalaureate, not four

On Friday, the Ungheni District Council held the first edition of its «Ungheni — Where Excellence Inspires» gala and awarded a diploma, a cash prize and flowers to ten students who scored a final mark of 10 in every national exam: six high-school graduates and four from lower secondary. Meanwhile, the final Baccalaureate results have raised the number of Ungheni students with straight 10s from four, as the preliminary data showed, to six — and this time one of them is a boy.

On Wednesday evening, 2 July, the stage in „Micul Cluj” Park in Ungheni hosted the show „On the Trail of Stephen the Voivode,” dedicated to the memory of Stephen the Great and Holy.

Not just the municipality: a second wave of town-hall mergers is forming around Pîrlița in the Ungheni district

While the municipality of Ungheni negotiates a union with ten surrounding localities, a second nucleus of voluntary amalgamation is taking shape in the west of the district: Pîrlița, together with Agronomovca, Alexeevca, Rădenii Vechi and Teșcureni, held a second joint working meeting on the subject. Around the table were the working groups of the five town halls and the Government's territorial representative, Ion Poia. Administrative reform is no longer an abstract discussion — concrete maps are being drawn.

Half a million lei for a village school: the state repairs the Boghenii Noi gymnasium

The Ministry of Education and Research will invest 500,000 lei in the „Anatol Popovici” gymnasium in Boghenii Noi for repair works this summer, the Ungheni District Council announced. It is state money going straight into a rural school in the Culei area — a concrete figure and a clear funder, which is usually missing from announcements about repairs in educational institutions. What exactly the sum covers was not detailed.

77 years since the largest wave of deportations: Ungheni commemorates its victims on Monday, at the Martyrs' Cross

The Ungheni municipal town hall calls on residents, on Monday, 6 July, at 10 a.m., to the Troița Martirilor Neamului (Martyrs of the Nation Cross) to commemorate the victims of the Stalinist deportations. The date is no accident: on the night of 5 to 6 July 1949, the Soviet regime lifted thousands of families from their homes across Bessarabia — the largest wave of deportations. In the Ungheni district alone, the „Book of Memory” gathers around 2,900 names of victims of totalitarianism, from more than 60 localities.

Old clothes turned into new pieces: students at the Ungheni vocational school learned upcycling in a European circular-fashion project

In May and June, the Ungheni vocational school hosted two creative workshops — „Cercul inovativ al tradiției” and „Firul memoriei” — in which participants gave a second life to old clothes and made objects from recycled materials. The workshops were brought in by ZIPHOUSE, Chișinău's creative and fashion-industry hub, through TEX-DAN, an initiative of the European Interreg programme dedicated to the circular economy in textiles. For a school that trains tailors and garment makers, it is a bridge between the core trade and one of the most pressing environmental problems of our time: fashion-industry waste.
