Zilele Diasporei 2026: apelul care a mobilizat o țară întreagă - și a ajuns până peste Prut • Newsweek România

In June, RePatriot urged local authorities in Romania to recognize the diaspora as a strategic resource for local development. By August, over 40 communities organized events for the diaspora, showcasing a significant mobilization effort. This year's edition marked a shift in approach, with the National Employment Agency proactively engaging with the diaspora to offer tailored job opportunities. Various cities, including Iași and Cluj, hosted events focused on reintegration and investment. The initiative has also spread to Moldova, where similar events took place, indicating a growing dialogue between the state and the diaspora. Overall, RePatriot's efforts aim to integrate the diaspora into local development strategies, moving beyond seasonal discussions to a more permanent institutional recognition.
