The National Theatre Radu Stanca Romania and Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu presents ANTISOCIAL
by BWW
News Desk - Sep 28, 2016
ANTISOCIAL is a detailed examination of the problems that ravage the Romanian educational system. In February 2015, in a provincial town in Romania, at one of the most prestigious high schools in the region, a group of students started a secret group on Facebook. In there, teachers and students were ridiculed and mocked. A teacher infiltrated the group by using a fake profile and discovered the contents. The students were threatened with expulsion. At this point the group had over 800 members. Soon after, most of the memes posted on the group were leaked to the local press. The scandal generated a debate around freedom of expression, privacy on social media, and the rights of students, but it faded shortly after. The school was only interested in covering up the case to save its prestige. Due to media pressure, the charges against students were dropped, but that was also the end of the public debate around the future of an educational system that privileges traditional methodologies and resists innovation.
