Răzvan Vasile, MBAKids: Parents' Gala is not a one-time event, it's a movement

In an exclusive interview with Răzvan Vasile, the initiator of the upcoming ‘Parents Gala – Education for the Future’ scheduled for January 20, 2024, at the Romanian Athenaeum, Business Review delves into the driving force behind this transformative event and explores Vasile’s expansive vision for sustained educational reform and innovation in parenting.

What inspired the conception of the ‘Parents Gala – Education for the Future,’ and what core issues in modern education propelled you to initiate this groundbreaking event?

The conception of this groundbreaking event was driven by a deep concern for the challenges our children face in the modern educational landscape. The core issues in modern education, such as the lack of essential skills for the future, rising levels of anxiety and depression among students, excessive screen time affecting motivation and academic performance, and the alarming statistics about job availability in 2030, compelled us to take action. We recognized the urgent need for a platform that not only addresses these issues but serves as a catalyst for positive change. The ‘Parents Gala’ aims to redefine education by bringing together influential personalities, experts, and parents to engage in meaningful discussions, share insights, and explore innovative solutions. By focusing on empowering parents and fostering a supportive community, we believe we can create a significant impact on the education landscape and prepare our children for a future filled with opportunities. We are driven by the belief that through collective efforts and shared knowledge, we can transform current challenges into opportunities and provide children with the tools they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.
