D’ale Gurii Dunării, a project initiated by Asociația Salvați Dunărea și Delta and supported by Ursus Breweries, had the purpose of promoting the uniqueness of the Danube Delta Biosphere on a European level, but also of developing solutions that resolved specific needs within the area, by involving local communities.
The first edition of the “D’ale Gurii Dunării” gastronomy and cultural traditions festival took place in October 2009. 6 communties from the Danube Delta took part in a competition for 3 prizes: The Ursus Breweries Grand Prize (3.000 euros), The eJOBS Special Award (2.000 euros) and the Radu Anton Roman prize (1.000 euros).
The aim of this festival was to prove that gastronomical and cultural traditions of the Delta are viable solutions of sustainable development for the deltaic population.
The sum offered as prize by our company was used by the winning team to solve local problems.
