Back to origins, through education.
We build projects that bring the idea of real learning back into young people's lives - not just as theory, but as applied education: money, character, communication, discipline and skills that truly matter.
Our projects are built directly in schools, alongside students, through applied workshops and real learning experiences.
Our goal is not only to inform, but to build skills that stay with young people long after the program ends.
We return to the things that shape people: clarity, discipline, thinking and life skills.
We build the foundation of a generation ready for real life.
An NGO built around education that's actually useful.
Origio EDUNOVA starts from a simple, powerful idea: good education isn't measured only in information, but in the way it shapes people. That's why we build initiatives that combine financial literacy with soft skills, personal discipline, clear self-expression and a healthier relationship with the future - and our focus areas are expanding toward health education, nutrition, movement, hygiene, sex education, civic education and life skills.
This website is our public home: here we publish projects, our impact areas, the 3.5% redirection campaign and, over time, calls for volunteers, partners and supporters.
I'm Mihnea Andrei Constantin, President of Origio EDUNOVA. I started this out of the conviction that young people need education with roots again - education that doesn't just inform, but forms.
I design applied, warm and well-structured projects that make financial education, communication, self-reflection, discipline and personal growth accessible and relevant to real life.
Building for the future, not just for the moment.
We're starting an educational movement that reaches far but stays anchored in the essentials: knowledge, character, clarity and real skills.
Institutions that opened their doors to us.
We work on the basis of signed partnership agreements with schools and organizations that believe, like we do, in applied education.
Completed and ongoing projects
Financial Education and Soft Skills Training
A hands-on program for high-school students, built around financial literacy, communication, focus, collaboration and making better decisions for real life.
The project gave students an applied, easy-to-follow approach that's relevant to their reality: money, habits, responsibility, confidence, self-expression and soft skills that help them function better at school, in relationships and later in their careers.

Financial Education and Soft Skills Training
A hands-on program for high-school students in Buzău, built around financial literacy, communication and real decision-making. Called Inno Mate, it was run by Think Big in partnership with United Way Romania, where I was the expert.
The workshop held at "Regele Mihai I" Economic College in Buzău delivered an applied experience in which students worked on real situations and learned by doing: money, decisions, responsibility and teamwork.
Financial Education for Children
A financial-education program adapted for children aged 6 to 14 in the Metropolis Foundation's programs, built on play, simple examples and first notions about money.
Through games and hands-on exercises, the children discovered what money is, how you earn it, how you split it between needs and wants and why saving matters. A first step toward a healthy relationship with money, at the age when habits are formed.
Financial Education and Soft Skills Training
An applied workshop for 7th- and 8th-grade students in Tortoman, on personal budgeting, financial decisions and life skills.
Students worked in teams on real situations: how to split a budget, how to tell needs from wants and how to make good decisions with limited resources. This is how financial education reaches rural communities too - where it's needed most and arrives least often.
Sex Education and Healthy Relationships
A workshop for young adults over 18 in the Metropolis Foundation's programs, delivered alongside a urologist surgeon: the medical side explained professionally, and the human side - communication, consent, vulnerability and emotions.
The doctor covered the biological and health dimension, while the relationships part went beyond theory: how to hold a real conversation, what consent means, how to handle your emotions and how to build a relationship based on respect. Topics rarely discussed openly, handled maturely and without taboos.
Financial Education for Future Doctors
A workshop for medical students, organized together with the SOMS Association: budgeting, early-career income and smart financial decisions in a demanding profession.
Future doctors worked through the practical notions medical school has no time for: how to manage your money during residency, how to plan your financial goals and how to avoid the common mistakes at the start of the road.
Funding and Sponsorships Workshop
A hands-on workshop for student-association leaders: how to identify funding sources, how to write a sponsorship proposal and how to build long-term relationships with funders.
Participants worked on real cases: mapping funders, structuring a sponsorship pitch, budgeting a student project and the follow-up that turns a "maybe" into a signed partnership.
Financial Education and Soft Skills Training
An applied workshop for 11th-grade students: personal budgeting, financial decisions, communication and teamwork, with exercises built on situations from their own lives.
Students went through simulations and hands-on exercises that connect money to everyday decisions: prioritization, planning and first notions about income, expenses and saving - plus soft skills that help them at school and beyond.
