About the Project 🇷🇴🌟

In the picturesque rural village of Teișani, Romania 🇷🇴, Stichting UCDean operates a vibrant youth centre that supports children and teenagers through creativity, STEM education, social development, and community activities. The organisation runs programs in Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths, creativity, cooking, sports, games, life skills and offers a warm, safe space where local youth can socialise after school — featuring the only PlayStation in the entire area, a big deal for the community!
With a mobile youth centre (a repurposed minibus), youth workers reach secluded nearby villages — some of which only recently gained access to running water. At the same time, Romania has one of the strongest 4G networks in Europe, creating a unique mix of tradition and modernity. Through events like the Rural Olympics, the team actively supports rural pride and local identity.
