About us

11 years of digital education for children, teachers and parents in Romania

At Adfaber, we believe technology is more than a tool — it is a bridge to a better future.

For 11 years, we have been building this bridge together with teachers, students, parents, partners and volunteers from all over Romania — people who share our vision: education that is accessible, safe and connected to the realities of today.

We started with a simple, bold idea — to bring technology closer to education and education closer to technology. Since then, we have developed and run digital literacy, online safety and coding programs for children, teachers and parents, in partnership with technology companies, international organizations that support education, and national and international public institutions.

Every year, more and more students discover their passion for coding, more teachers gain the confidence to integrate digital tools in the classroom, and parents learn how to keep their children safe online.

Through webinars, competitions, podcasts and free educational resources, together we are building a generation ready for the challenges and opportunities of the digital future.

Adfaber means people who choose to transform Romania — one child, one teacher and one family at a time.

Adfaber means education, technology and community.
