Youth@Cluj-Napoca 2015 unveiled in february the CLUJ 2015 totem, a project initiated by the AStA association. This concept has the purpose of promoting Cluj-Napoca and communicate its values in a fresh way during this year, now that Cluj is the European Youth capital. Other active communities contributed at the completion of this project too. Because we already talked about this, this article is entirely dedicated to the designers that contributed at the construction of the 63 cassettes that form the CLUJ 2015 totem.

Let`s start with 1. In this sense, we remind you that Com`ON Cluj-Napoca is the first process with participatory budgeting (BP) from Cluj- Napoca, which aims to involve youngsters from the above mentioned city, into a democratic process of deliberation and decision, for determining the best way to spend the public budget, within the Cluj-Napoca 2015, European Youth Capital program.
This way, we have set an extremely brave and encouraging goal for the target audience: a portfolio of 250 projects/ initiatives proposed by the youth, whom are organized only in informal groups, and who address their projects to the local community.

The Cluj-Napoca 2015 European Youth Capital program is the winner project in Romania for “Charlemagne award for young Europeans 2015”. This program helped Romania to reach the final stage of the contest, being followed by 28 other nomination of projects from EU member states.
The project will be judged at a European level, by the European Parliament President, three deputies (MPs) and four representatives of International Charlemagne Prize Foundation. This year, the number of projects that have been submitted in the competition reached 350, from which 28 European projects have reached the final, including SHARE Federation's, Cluj-Napoca, registered project.
