No child without education

Dear supporter, 

I am delighted to share with you the remarkable achievements and initiatives undertaken by Te Aud România, as we proudly accept the "Social Impact Sports Initiative of the Year 2023" Award, graciously offered by Acquisition International Magazine. This accolade serves as a testament to our unwavering commitment to empowering the youth in Romania through sports and education.

1. Social Impact Sports Initiative of the Year 2023 Award

Te Aud România is thrilled to receive the NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION AWARD as the "Social Impact Sports Initiative of the Year 2023" from Acquisition International Magazine. This award recognizes our dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of children and teenagers through sports. It is an honor to be acknowledged for our relentless efforts in promoting physical activity, teamwork, and personal development among the youth. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Acquisition International Magazine for recognizing our work and providing a platform to celebrate our accomplishments.

2. Rugby Summer Schools

One of our most exciting endeavors is the organization of Rugby Summer Schools, which exemplify the passion and dedication of our sport teachers. These enthusiastic individuals have come together to create a fantastic opportunity for kids and teenagers in Romania. The success of this initiative is primarily attributed to their unwavering commitment and love for sports.

This summer, we are thrilled to provide young hearts and minds with the opportunity to experience the joy of rugby and acquire valuable life skills under the tutelage of these inspiring teachers. The Rugby Summer Schools program aims to foster teamwork, instill a sense of discipline, and nurture the love for sports among the participants. We are enthusiastic about the positive impact that this program is expected to have on the lives of these young individuals, as they learn, grow, and forge lasting friendships through the world of rugby.

3. 'Supporting Excellence' Campaign

Te Aud România remains dedicated to the 'Supporting Excellence' campaign, in collaboration with the General Directorate for Social Assistance and Child Protection of Suceava County. Through this vital initiative, we endeavor to reward and support children and young people who excel in their studies, despite facing the challenges of not having the support of a traditional family structure.

This campaign underscores our commitment to inclusivity and promoting equal opportunities for all. By recognizing and assisting these remarkable young individuals, we aspire to provide them with the support, guidance, and resources they need to achieve their full potential and become future leaders in their communities.

4. Erasmus Sport Program

In addition to the above initiatives, Te Aud România is currently implementing an Erasmus Sport program, which is aimed at gaining insights into how other nationalities from Europe are addressing similar challenges related to youth sports and education. This program enables us to learn more about the techniques and strategies employed by our European peers. By doing so, we hope to explore best practices and gain valuable knowledge from the wider European sports community.

Our participation in the Erasmus Sport program is a significant step towards improving our approach to the challenges and opportunities we face. By collaborating with European partners and understanding their diverse experiences, we aim to enrich our strategies and ensure that our efforts remain relevant and impactful.

Te Aud România is profoundly honored to have received the "Social Impact Sports Initiative of the Year 2023" Award from Acquisition International Magazine. We are immensely proud of our Rugby Summer Schools, the 'Supporting Excellence' campaign, and our ongoing participation in the Erasmus Sport program, all of which continue to make a positive difference in the lives of the youth we serve.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Acquisition International Magazine for this recognition and to our dedicated teachers and partners for their invaluable contributions. Together, we are making a meaningful impact on the lives of children and teenagers in Romania, and we remain committed to our mission of promoting education, sports, and social inclusion.

Dear supporter,

Art as a Bridge

Steps towards inclusion is a project oriented towards intercultural dialogue for social integration of Ukrainian refugee children within Romanian communities, financed by the Efectiv Civic program, developed by FDSC - Foundation for the Development of Civil Society in partnership with RAF - Romanian American Foundation.

During the month of May, we organized, alongside sports activities, collage art workshops, where, by using a variety of materials and techniques, over 85 participants could express themselves and learn about different artistic styles, whilst celebrating diversity and fostering friendships across borders.

The power that children carry with them lies in mobilising communities and grassroots stakeholders, so we can all unite in bridging the gap between past and present. We take this opportunity to thank you for all of your support.
