I am writing these lines not only as the co-founder of ParentED Fest, but also as the ambassador of a movement that aims to bring parents closer to high-quality resources, dedicated specialists, and communities that believe in the same vision: education for parents, through an authentic, connected, and transformative experience.
ParentED Fest was born out of a real need that I felt myself and witnessed in those around me: the need for a space where parents can find answers, inspiration, and support during a stage of life that is both beautiful and incredibly challenging. We built this event with parents in mind – parents who seek balance between theory and practice, between validated knowledge and emotional connection, between learning and truly experiencing the joy of parenting.
Our Gratitude to the Main Partners
ParentED Fest would not be possible without the partners who chose to believe in our mission and join this initiative. I am deeply grateful to our main sponsors, who share the same values and the same desire to support parents and children:
- Lidl Romania and the Lupilu brand – for their constant support of families and for the way they provide parents with affordable, high-quality products that make everyday life easier. Their values of care, responsibility, and sustainability naturally align with the vision of ParentED Fest. Lupilu means more than products – it means trust and support for parents at every stage of their children’s growth.
- SANADOR – for their dedication to the health and safety of families. With a modern medical network and top-quality services, SANADOR represents prevention, quick access to care, and a team of professionals who put patients and families first. Their values – care, professionalism, and innovation – go hand in hand with the mission of ParentED Fest: to support parents in making informed choices and having the resources they need for a healthy and balanced life.
- Kids Hero – a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting children and their families, through projects and initiatives that bring closer real resources, support, and opportunities. Kids Hero exists to offer children a better future through education, involvement, and solidarity. We share the same belief: that every child deserves to be protected, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
Thanks to All Our Partners
Beyond these three main sponsors, I want to wholeheartedly thank all our partners and collaborators involved in this event. Every contribution – whether resources, expertise, or presence – brought added value and made ParentED Fest a vibrant, warm, and meaningful space.
ParentED Fest 2025 – We Begin Tomorrow!
Tomorrow marks the start of ParentED Fest 2025 – two full days of inspiration and connection, bringing together powerful voices, authentic messages, and real resources for parents.
I want to thank everyone who has shown interest in this event, those who took the initiative to spread the message further, those who will be present in the room, as well as those who cannot attend but are with us in thought.
Because change begins with small steps.
And it begins with us.
With gratitude,
Diana Bălan
