The 9th edition of Takeover Day took place between November 19 and 26. With this campaign, Terre des hommes Foundation promotes children's right to choose their future, and in this edition, ten Romanian and foreign personalities talked to children about choosing their job.
The pandemic did not stop the preparations for this edition, which was delivered entirely online. The Foundation coordinated online meetings between children and 10 personalities from different fields, who agreed to be mentors for a day: Amir Sagron, Deputy Ambassador of Israel in Bucharest; Oana Giurgiu, film producer; Tudor Roșu, Head of Eastern Europe Delegation - Terre des hommes Foundation; Dan Andrei Savenco, famous handball player; Kirsten Theuns, Head of Southern Europe Delegation, Terre des hommes; Lia Bugnar, actress, director, and playwright; Lorin Niculae, Associate Doctor of Architecture; Rozana Mihalache, artistic director and poet; Indi Catrina, Service Operation Manager; and Ovidiu Vanghele, investigative journalist.
In addition, about 30 teachers from all over the country independently organized online meetings between children and local mentors. On Takeover Day, child-mentor meetingswill hopefully serve as the beginning of a long-term mentoring relationship.
Takeover Day is a project that Terre des hommes Foundation has implemented since 2012 to help form generations of young people who are civically engaged and aware of their rights, starting with the right to choose their future.
