We have completed the equipping of the Inclusive Educational Resource Center in Crihana Veche – a concrete step towards inclusion!

With joy and gratitude, we announce the completion of equipping the Inclusive Educational Resource Center within the “Clopoțelul” Kindergarten in Crihana Veche – a friendly, adapted space designed to meet the needs of all children, including those with special educational needs (SEN).
The new center is now furnished and equipped with ergonomic furniture, computer equipment, and modern tools that will support educational activities in an efficient, safe, and inclusive manner. But above all, this initiative means more than just an infrastructure investment: it is an investment in the future of a more equitable community.
In the spirit of social responsibility and solidarity, we chose to collaborate with social enterprises and organizations that promote inclusion. Thus:
<ul data-start="1099" data-end="1493">
<li data-start="1099" data-end="1251">
educational materials and games were purchased from EduJoc – Educational Toys, a social enterprise from the Republic of Moldova,
</li>
<li data-start="1252" data-end="1493">
the center's library was enriched with two valuable books created by Prietenamea: “The Alphabet of Equality” and “The Jumpy Socks” – books that nurture acceptance, diversity, and empathy from the earliest ages.
</li>
</ul>
This project creates a multiple impact:
<ul data-start="1543" data-end="1818">
<li data-start="1543" data-end="1610">
it provides a safe and adapted educational environment for children with SEN;
</li>
<li data-start="1611" data-end="1706">
it encourages learning and joint play for all preschool children, regardless of abilities;
</li>
<li data-start="1707" data-end="1818">
it supports the social economy and initiatives that actively promote equal opportunities in education.
</li>
</ul>
The center thus becomes a space for growth, interaction, and inclusive learning, where all children from Crihana Veche can develop in a spirit of respect and acceptance.
🔆 Because together we build a community where every child matters.
This activity is carried out within the project “A.R.I.P.I. – Assistance and Resources for Inclusion and Individual Progress,” implemented by the Regional Center for Community Development. The project is part of the “Active Citizens, Prosperous Communities” program, implemented by the East Europe Foundation – Moldova with financial support from the Embassy of Sweden in Chisinau and the Swiss Cooperation in Moldova.
