Christmas concerts of the State Philharmonic of Moldova, in the Palace ensemble

Christmas concerts and fairs are ubiquitous in Iulius projects. In Iasi, the season was opened by the traditional concert of the State Philharmonic “Moldova” of Iasi, which will continue to hold concerts of carols and winter songs throughout December.

As every year, Julius surprises with Christmas markets. For example, in the “Palace” visitors can choose from the “Artist’s Workshop” unique gifts made by local craftsmen.

When you get into the Christmas spirit, the feeling of compassion for those around you is also activated. The world is traditionally more attentive to the problems of others at this time and more ready to help. Starting with this observation, Julius proposes a paradigm shift by inviting the public to show their generosity year-round. This is the central message of the “Be kind, not only at Christmas” campaign. The campaign, which begins in game form, rewards elves who help Santa collect presents.

The campaign is promoted through a series of videos (which can be viewed here) that call on the public to be more accepting of those around them every day.

Christmas stories are written every day in the Iulius projects during December, which are written by all those who love Santa Claus, the magic around him and the time spent with their loved ones.
