De-a Arhitectura began with the thought of making architecture and environment education available for as many children as possible. Our courses started in several classes in Bucharest in September 2012 and are now held annually in over 100 classes across the country, mostly in state schools. We have built a serious organization, we are partners of the two professional organizations of Romanian architects, OAR (Architects Order of Romania) and UAR (Union of Architects in Romania), we collaborate with teachers and researchers in the education sciences, we have as a group the confidence of hundreds of volunteers and the experience of thousands of children attending our courses.
On this page, we gather all the interesting resources for teachers who are interested in bringing the De-a arhitectura courses to class or use the built environment as a learning resource for all subjects. It is a useful page for teachers who are interested in project learning and multidisciplinarity.
