Our projects and campaigns
"În Umbra Iluziilor" ("In the shadow of illusions") - 2024
In our most ambitious project to date; we developed and deployed a social experiment to show how easy it is to fall into a trap that leads to trafficking, showing that truly anyone, if vulnerable enough, can fall victim.
The campaign was developed in partnership with the Brașov County School Inspectorate, with activities being implemented both within randomly selected schools and outside educational establishments.
The idea we proposed through this project aimed to make a significant difference in formal education, with the ultimate goal of transforming it, over time, into an ongoing concern for different communities to identify new catalysts for positive change in young people's lives—building communities that are as resilient as possible.
The project was funded by the Municipality of Brașov through Funding Agreement No. 47/70697/08.05.2024.
