AI Building Blocks for Sustainability struck me as very interesting. The students worked in teams and carried out projects in which they found solutions to community problems by integrating an AI component. This activity was later replicated during an exchange with a delegation from Spain as part of the Erasmus+ program, where it was well-received by both the students and the visiting teachers. I greatly appreciate JA programs for the fresh perspectives they bring to our somewhat outdated educational system. I recommend JA programs to my fellow teachers as well as to stu- dents, who, by completing these modules, acquire essential financial, digital, and entrepreneurial skills. Teacher, Sandu Aldea Agricultural High School, Calarasi life skills development Together with my students, we found the activities of the Health Hour project very useful and en- gaging. The children were highly interested in the lessons about their bodies, were captivated by the explanations, and actively participated in completing the exercises in the interactive material. They also enjoyed the material about healthy nutrition and completed the printed materials with enthusi- asm. It was very valuable for them to learn how to read food labels and understand the ingredients used in food products, and since then they have been applying this knowledge whenever they want to buy something sweet. The feedback from parents was also very positive. Teacher, Secondary School No. 16, Oradea, Bihor The advantages brought by a university student volunteer are: being close in age to the students, the ability to connect with them, the use of interactive methods, and the freedom of expression. Participating in the webinar provided the students with relevant information, practical examples that were easy to understand, and insights with real-life impact. The volunteer consistently created a connection with the class through explanations and questions throughout the activity. I appreciated the clarity of the presentation, the accessible pace, and the fact that it was easy for them to un- derstand. The way the concepts were explained, supported by examples, facilitated understanding and successfully conveyed the message about the importance of a healthy lifestyle through physical activity, nutrition, and preventive habits. Teacher, Ilie Gavrila Technological High School, Ciorani, Prahova For us, the activities in the Healthy Eating. Sports. Prevention project were very useful and inter- esting. The students applied what they learned in the JA programs to other contexts as well. Green Week and School with a Difference became more diverse and engaging, and the positive impact was felt even in family life. The fact that I have been implementing JA projects and programs for several years and have observed positive changes in the participating students reflects my trust and ongoing interest in the initiatives carried out by Junior Achievement Romania. Congratulations on everything you do! You are wonderful! Teacher, Danubiana Technical College, Roman, Neamt 89
