The general objective of the project is to improve the learning conditions at the Secondary School no.4 “Mihai Eminescu” in Giurgiu, by extending the existing specific spaces, with a new building body in order to carry out the educational process in one exchange, for all classes (preparatory – VIII) and to provide the necessary facilities for carrying out extracurricular activities of the “school after school” type.
