EuroEd Iași

Founded in 1992 in Iași, Romania, EuroEd Foundation is a non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to the belief that education is the cornerstone of a flourishing and inclusive society. 

For over 30 years, EuroEd has committed itself to the continuous learning and development of children, youth, and adults. We aim to harness the potential of every individual, viewing human capacity as a multifaceted resource comprising knowledge, skills, competencies, and ideas that foster sustainable development. Our work is driven by a dedication to promoting high-quality education, social inclusion, and personal empowerment for all, especially those who face barriers in accessing educational opportunities.

Mission

At EuroEd, we believe that education should be available to everyone, regardless of their socio-economic background, race, gender, or personal circumstances. Our mission is twofold: to ensure personal and professional development for every individual and to create pathways for social integration for marginalized groups. We support and empower disadvantaged people, including refugees, socially marginalized communities, children with exceptional talents, and individuals facing economic hardships, by providing them with educational opportunities that promote sustainable development.

We develop sustainable projects which are meant to contribute to the improvement of practices and public policies for ensuring:

• personal and professional development in accordance with everyone’s skills and objectives in a competitive environment;
• creative use of human potential for an active social and economic life;
• unbiased access to the new technologies as part of professional and personal development in the current information society;  
• ways to improve people’s standard of living;
• providing high-quality educational programs and resources to socially disadvantaged groups;
• support for various socially disadvantaged groups or people at risk;
• sustainable pathways to success through innovative projects focused on innovative education, creativity, inclusion, digitalization, and environmental and civic responsibility  

Through its initiatives, EuroEd Foundation intends to act as a regional catalyst for debating and developing regional and international projects which should facilitate exchange of ideas and experience in the field of democracy and development of society.

History

EuroEd Foundation came into being in 1992 with the support of the British Council Romania and the Soros Foundation. EuroEd Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation located in Iasi, Romania. Until 1995 our name was International House and our focus was on delivering language courses. In 1995 we became the International Language Centre and enriched our portfolio by setting up the Kindergarten (1995) and the Primary School (1997). As a result of constantly expanding services and addressability, two more departments were created in 1998: the Regional Centre for Education and Communication and the Centre for European Integration.

Since 2000 our name has been EuroEd Foundation, a symbol of our holistic approach to education.
