“We started this project out of the desire to cover a growing need for digitalization and, at the same time, to promote reuse as an important step in the circular economy. We are glad that, for another year, we have contributed, together with our partners, to the endowment of schools in disadvantaged areas, thus coming to the support of both students and teachers. In this sense, we will continue the project, the companies that want to donate IT equipment having this possibility throughout the year. ”Declares Valentin Negoiță, the president of ECOTIC.
"We are glad that we managed to provide support to the communities and to know that the donated laptops help the children to keep in touch with their teachers in these times. As families struggle to take care of their health, we have turned our attention and support to vulnerable young people, precisely to ensure that there is a minimum disruption of education. ”, Mihaela Sofronea, GreenWEEE PR & Marketing Manager.
Since the launch, the project Enter the circle of solidarity encouraged companies to donate IT equipment that would later be prepared for reuse and then donated to schools in disadvantaged areas or to NGOs working with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Due to the growing need for IT equipment in schools, ECOTIC has decided to extend the possibility of donations of IT equipment by large and small companies throughout the year, by filling in the form at https://www.ecotic.ro/formular-inscriere-intra-in-cercul-solidaritatii/
