“For me Teach for Romania means dreams coming true, much, much love, a good education, team working and the appreciation of the values of each person. We lived beautiful moments together with our colleagues, we learned to find solutions together, to put all our ideas to a place and to leave something big at the end.”

“For me Teach for Romania experience has been incredible, I realized how it feels after help someone and offering emotional support, understanding and freedom, because everyoneneeds space and privacy. This experience brought us closer, we are more open with each other and not judging each other.”

“Family. This is the word which describes the Conference that has just taken place. It was a space where I felt proud to be a part of this movement, a space where I realized that you can’t go wrong, a space where you can come back again, anytime you need. Just like in a family. It has been a surprise to see people with tears in their eyes, people who have embraced and thanked us. Thank you for existing, that you will never give up and most of all, thank you that I can be a part of the family! :)”
