What is lost when a village empties: a living peasant house in Florițoaia Nouă

The Culture Section published a few photographs from a peasant house kept intact in Florițoaia Nouă, in the Ungheni district — a porch with carved wooden pillars, a rail hung with woven cloths, an icon in the corner, a bread oven. It looks like a pretty gallery. Read with an ethnographer's eye, it is more: a grammar of how Moldovans once lived, kept alive by a single person, at a time when villages are emptying and houses are left without owners.

80 young people graduated from Ungheni's art school, named after Raisa Cojocaru

The Art School in Ungheni held its 2026 graduation: 80 children and teenagers (74 from the fourth-year classes and 6 from the fifth year) finished their years of drawing, painting and sculpture, according to the City Hall. The school bears the name of Raisa Cojocaru, who led it for almost four decades, and has a tradition of over 57 years. And the stakes are higher than a ceremony: in a district that has lost more than half of its young people in twelve years, every generation trained at home counts.

Twenty teachers from Ungheni and Călărași learn how to include children with special needs in class

A workshop run by CCF Moldova trained 20 teachers from ten schools in the Ungheni and Călărași districts to work better with parents and with children who have special educational needs. They, in turn, will train more than 120 colleagues. Beyond the event, Ungheni is one of the country's two pilot regions for inclusive education — and the road from the orphanage to the classroom next door has changed radically in recent years.

At the Palace of Culture in Ungheni, young people discover rare crafts — origami, quilling and the art of pressed flowers

A creative workshop at the Palace of Culture gathered young people in Ungheni around four techniques with surprising stories: the Japanese folding of paper, the paper filigree once rolled on goose quills, the «painting» from pressed flowers once practised by samurai, and découpage. Beyond a pleasant afternoon, the workshop says something about what the town still offers its young people — in a district they are leaving.

The French Park in Ungheni is changing its face: skatepark, padel and 5,217 m² of sports grounds on the bank of the Prut

The largest green space in the Ungheni municipality is a full building site. Besides the underground networks, the parkour zone, the skatepark and the water-retention basins are already taking shape, and on about 4 hectares there will be sports grounds — including for padel — playgrounds, cycling paths and running tracks. The money comes from two projects, one European and one national, and the healthy trees stay in place: the park was scanned by drone before the works.

Ungheni hosts three days of free training for first-time entrepreneurs from four districts

On 14–16 July, in Ungheni, people who want to start a business — or have just started one — from the Ungheni, Fălești, Nisporeni and Călărași districts can learn for free, from specialists, how to keep a firm afloat. The programme, funded from European money, has reached its eighth round. The hook isn't festive, though: in the Ungheni district, businesses employed over 700 fewer people in 2024 than in 2021, and wages remain a fifth below the national average.

The «Hippocrates Cup» returns to Ungheni: a second women's volleyball tournament honouring medics

On Sunday, 21 June, on Medical Worker's Day, the Ungheni Sports School hosts the second edition of the «Hippocrates Cup» women's volleyball tournament — a contest launched last year by the Ungheni Health Centre with four teams and now billed as «republican». Behind the celebration, though, lies a harsher reality: over eight years the district has lost 26 doctors and 94 nurses, and the district hospital has 25 vacant doctor posts.

Ungheni builds a 17.5-million-lei agri-food market, with completion pushed to autumn

Ungheni City Hall shows a construction site that is moving ahead. The public record, however, says more: a market worth over 17.5 million lei, with its deadline pushed to autumn, funding shifted from a European programme to national money, and open questions about some 80 traders and about the site's transparency.
