On March 1, the Terre des hommes Foundation in Romania launched the
Resilience and Innovation Centre, a creativity and learning center equipped
with 3D technologies addressing children and teenagers. Operating under the
slogan Reinvent your childhood. Reshape
your future, the Center offers free workshops designed to challenge
children to approach topics that are relevant to them, such as friendship,
tolerance or helping those voice their emotions and transpose them in their own
creative projects.
Laura Sava-Ghica, the director of Terre des hommes Romania
Foundation told us more.

Background
Since the start of the war in neighboring Ukraine last year, Terre
des hommes (TdH) Romania has met the immediate needs of children, teenagers and
mothers arriving in Romania, whether it was physical protection, mental health,
psychological or social forms of assistance or customized individual care. TdH
has been providing social assistance to Ukrainian families or individuals, in
cooperation with refugee centers and other NGOs. Over 13,000 Ukrainians
(children and adults) have benefited from the Foundation’s programs. Thanks to
donations and the contribution of Terre des hommes’s partners, the Foundation
expanded its activities beyond Bucharest, to Constanța and Brașov.
Over the course of last year, TdH Romania has
undertaken a number of actions, such as summer schools and camps in various
venues, socializing and inclusion events, workships designed to harness
children’s talents and encourage them to further their
education. The Foundation’s teams have provided Ukrainian families with an
opportunity to connect to Romanian society and offered the means to deal with
practical issues.
