Madalina feels fulfilled now when, 16 years after the establishment of the first Butterfly kindergarten, she managed to bring innovation in Romanian education through the EduBox project.
A former performance athlete, she felt the need to complete the education obtained in childhood and adolescence in an atypical way (education achieved through strenuous training, long camps away from family and competitions) taking adult courses at Cambridge University. There she discovered what quality education really means, she found teachers interested not only in what she read, in what information she assimilated, but in what she really thinks.
Madalina supports the combination of formal, informal and non-formal in education and strongly believes in the need for lifelong learning.
“Mi se pare fascinant să ai puterea de a lăsa o amprentă pozitivă asupra întregii vieți a unui copil sau student. Un gest simplu poate schimba o viață. Îmi doresc foarte tare ca toți copiii să găsească în drumul lor oameni care să îi susțină și să îi îndrume cu dragoste. Adoptăm Studenți asta face și sunt mândră să fiu alături de acest proiect minunat!”
