Cultivating Character, Building Futures: A Spring

By Gabriela Popescu | Project Leader

Spring is a season of renewal, growth, and transformation—and for Te Aud Romania, the months of March through May 2025 marked a reaffirmation of our enduring mission: to support and empower young people through education, sports, and meaningful community engagement. Under the banner of the No Child Without Education project, we implemented a series of impactful initiatives designed to foster critical thinking, digital literacy, emotional resilience, and civic awareness among children and adolescents in vulnerable communities.

March 2025: Laying the Foundations of Awareness and Media Literacy

In March, our focus was twofold: raising awareness about human trafficking and equipping youth with essential media literacy skills.

A total of 20 children aged 14 participated in a human trafficking prevention workshop, where they learned to recognize warning signs, understand their rights, and build self-protective behaviors.
Simultaneously, 168 adolescents aged 14 to 18, all beneficiaries of the General Directorate of Social Assistance and Child Protection (D.G.A.S.P.C.) Suceava, engaged in media literacy workshops. These sessions were designed to develop their ability to critically evaluate information, identify misinformation, and navigate the digital world safely and responsibly.

These activities were grounded in our belief that education must extend beyond the classroom to address the real-world challenges that young people face in an increasingly complex and interconnected society.

April 2025: Continuing the Fight Against Exploitation

In April, we continued our efforts to combat human trafficking by organizing another prevention workshop for 25 children aged 14. This session built upon the foundations laid in March, reinforcing key messages and expanding the reach of our protective education programming. The workshop emphasized empowerment through knowledge, encouraging participants to become advocates for safety and awareness within their peer groups.

May 2025: Digital Safety and Civic Engagement

May brought a shift in focus toward digital empowerment and civic education:

75 children aged 11 and 12 took part in cybersecurity workshops, where they learned how to protect their personal data, recognize online threats, and use the internet responsibly. These workshops were particularly timely, given the increasing digitalization of education and social interaction.
In celebration of Europe Day, we supported the organization of the EPAS Competition at Colegiul Alexandru cel Bun, where 250 students aged 15 to 19 participated in a quiz-style event titled “The EU in Questions and Answers.” A total of 24 teams competed, demonstrating their knowledge of the European Union’s history, values, and institutions. This initiative not only promoted civic literacy but also fostered a sense of European identity and democratic participation among youth.

From combating human trafficking and misinformation to promoting digital safety and civic engagement, each initiative has contributed to our overarching goal: ensuring that no child is left behind in their educational journey.

We extend our deepest gratitude to our partners, educators, and supporters who make this work possible. Together, we are not only growing character—we are building the future.

Education all the way

By Gabriela Popescu | Project Leader

Dear Donors,

Your generous support has enabled us to focus on non-formal education initiatives that have significantly impacted the lives of many children.

Our efforts have been centered around several key activities. In terms of sport, we supported Ukrainian children provided these children with sports equipment, helping them continue their passion for football and fostering a sense of normalcy and community.In our continued support for EDNAE, we donated 96 books in Romanian and English to benefit the 32 children under their care. We also covered the rent for the football field where the association's football team trains, facilitating the social inclusion of Ukrainian refugee children in the local community of Suceava through a series of intercultural dialogue initiatives.

Our "Mini Rugby pentru toti" program continued to thrive, promoting physical activity and teamwork among children.

Furthermore, the Winter Cup Athletics Tournament saw the participation of 250 children, promoting social development through sports.

On the subject of financial education, we conducted sessions at Scoala Gimnaziala Mitropolit Iacob Putneanul Putna for 19 third-grade students, equipping them with essential financial literacy skills that will benefit them throughout their lives.

We also focused on social inclusion and non-formal education through various activities. At Scoala Gimnaziala Onesti, 21 beneficiaries received STEAM kits from Goodera, which aimed to enhance their creativity and critical thinking skills.

As of January, we have embarked on two new projects focused on vocational testing and media education for 400 children within the social protection system. We will provide more details on these initiatives as the activities take place.

Your unwavering support has been the cornerstone of these achievements, and we cannot thank you enough for your generosity. As we look to the future, we invite you to continue supporting our mission. Your contributions are vital in helping us reach more children and provide them with the tools they need to succeed. Together, we can make a lasting difference in their lives and empower them to achieve their full potential.

Thank you once again for your kindness and belief in our cause.

Update of autumn 2024

By Gabriela Popescu | Project Leader

Dear Supporters,

Since the beginning of June, we’ve made incredible strides with No Child Without Education, reaching over 100 children in the remote village of Tampoceni, Romania. Thanks to your generous support, we were able to fully equip these children with the essential tools they need for a successful school year. Each child received school supplies including backpacks, notebooks, writing materials, and uniforms, ensuring they have everything necessary to continue their education in a dignified and prepared manner. This was a vital step in reducing dropout rates and empowering the next generation with the tools they need to thrive.

In addition to school supplies, we proudly partnered with Estée Lauder to introduce digital educational quizzes designed to engage students with interactive learning experiences. These quizzes have become a great resource for teachers, enabling them to integrate technology into the classroom and keep students motivated to learn.

This summer was not only about preparing students, but also about building capacity within the educational ecosystem. We organized specialized training for local teachers, focusing on modern teaching methods and inclusive education. Furthermore, we continued our Rugby for Social Impact initiative, bringing together children from different communities for tournaments that promote teamwork, discipline, and social cohesion through sport. Rugby has proven to be a powerful tool for both physical and emotional development, building self-esteem and breaking down barriers between children.

Your continued support means the world to us, and we are eager to push forward with more projects that inspire learning, growth, and opportunity for all.

Thank you for being a part of this journey!

With gratitude,
Te Aud Romania
