In March 2026, Adina Tulbure was invited to speak at the Consulate General of Romania in Manchester, where members of the Romanian community gathered alongside inspirational women to celebrate International Women's Day—a day that in Romania is also closely associated with celebrating mothers.
During the event, Adina shared the story of how she built an educational initiative as a Romanian living in the United Kingdom and how a deeply personal moment as a mother became the starting point for a new vision in education.
Where the Journey Began
Like many powerful ideas, this story began with a personal realization.
When Adina looked at her son, she felt that the traditional classroom environment was no longer enough. She believed that children needed more than the limits of four walls—they needed the world as their classroom.
Driven by this conviction and guided by a powerful maternal instinct, she made a courageous decision: she resigned from her job to pursue a vision that did not yet exist.
On her digital wall she wrote a simple description of that dream:
“A maths teacher travelling around the world.”
It was both a hope and a prayer that her passion for education could reach beyond the traditional classroom and connect with young people across cultures and borders.
The Mother Instinct in Education
At the event in Manchester, Adina also spoke about the remarkable women and teachers who form the heart of her team today. Together, they are building what they call a “School Without Walls.”
This initiative brings together educators united by something deeply human: the instinct to protect, guide, and support the next generation.
Across cultures and continents, women share a powerful common bond—the willingness to sacrifice and create opportunities that ensure a better future for their children. The educators involved in this project carry that same instinct into their work every day.
Recognition and Gratitude
During the event, appreciation was also expressed to the Consulate General of Romania in Manchester for their continued support and for recognising the efforts of Romanian educators and community builders living abroad.
Events like these highlight the importance of community, collaboration, and the contributions of Romanian women who continue to inspire and create meaningful change beyond their homeland.
A Vision That Continues to Grow
What began as a mother’s concern for her child has grown into a wider educational vision connecting communities across countries.
Today, the School Without Walls continues to develop through partnerships with teachers, mentors, and organisations that believe education should open doors rather than limit possibilities.
It stands as a reminder that when a vision is driven by love, courage, and commitment to the next generation, it has the power to travel far beyond where it first began.
Because education is not only about where we sit.
It is about how far we are encouraged to look.
