March snow
In March 2025, we organised two orientation and mobility trips for children from our partner schools, as part of the "Global Inclusive Education Project", carried out between August 2023 and July 2026 with the support of the Nelumbo Foundation, which were more than just trips. They were moments of growth, overcoming limits and getting to know new places and people, and even creating new friendships.
Children, parents, teachers ❤
On the first trip, held on March 3-6, we had a group of 14 wonderful children accompanied by 7 teachers, a mother and an aunt, coming from the Sfânta Maria Special High School Arad, the School Center for Inclusive Education Arad, the School Center for Inclusive Education "Elena Doamna" Focșani, the Special Vocational School "Emil Gârleanu" with the structure of the Special Vocational School "P.P. Neveanu" Galați, the School Center for Inclusive Education "Cristal" Oradea, the School Center for Inclusive Education No. 2 Sibiu, the School Center for Inclusive Education "Constantin Pufan" Timișoara, the Special Technological High School "Gheorghe Atanasiu" Timișoara and the Special Theoretical High School "Iris".
In the second trip, organised on March 17-20, another 14 equally wonderful children came from the "Sfânta Maria" Special Vocational School for the Hearing Impaired in Bucharest, the "Regina Elisabeta" Special Technological High School in Bucharest, the Special Vocational School for the Visually Impaired in Bucharest, the Special Secondary School for the Deaf No. 1 in Bucharest, the Special Technological High School No. 3 in Bucharest, the Special Technological High School for Children with Hearing Impairments in Buzău, the "Moldova" Special High School in Târgu Frumos and the Special High School for the Hearing Impaired in Cluj Napoca, accompanied by a mother, a father and seven dedicated teachers.
The trips organized by Sense are special because they are not just two days spent in the mountains participating in various activities. They represent the chance for children or young people with deafblindness to experience things they have never seen before and to make lifelong friends." A.D., teacher
Adventure, adrenaline and knowledge ❤
The programme of each trip was designed to combine safety with adventure. On the first day there were knowledge activities, games designed to bring us closer, workshops on creativity and imagination, balance and trust exercises, as well as discussions about personal and group safety.
The second day was about discovery and courage. By train, we arrived in Sinaia, where we took the cable car up to Cota 1400, where we breathed fresh air, then went down by gondola, feeling a different kind of adrenaline. We continued with a walk to Peleș Castle. On the second trip, we also managed to visit Pelișor Castle, which fascinated the little ones with the story of the golden room.
Every moment spent together was a step forward towards confidence, independence and the joy of being part of a united group. The children experienced new and interesting things, introduced themselves to a new environment, collaborated with each other, established a list of rules together that they respected, all in a safe and friendly environment.
The memories of these days will remain alive in our souls for a long time, and the joy of the children confirms, once again, how precious such experiences are. It was a real pleasure to spend time with each of the participants!
Thank you all for the wonderful moments lived during March 17-20, 2025, together with you, the Sense team, colleagues, teachers, students and parents from Bucharest, Buzău, Cluj, Târgu Frumos! You are wonderful and together we were the most beautiful group, a family full of soul and dedication, a "SPECIAL" family. I am convinced that these dear memories will remain in our hearts forever. Let us be healthy and participate with joy in other projects! With love and gratitude, thank you all! G.D. teacher
