Mihaela Carmen Cozma
“Technology as Bridge, not as Barrier - How to get closer to our children”
Mihaela Carmen Cozma is a multidisciplinary therapist, Recall Healing and Family Constellations facilitator, life and parenting coach, integrative NLP advisor, personal development advisor and author of parenting courses, who has dedicated her life to deep understanding of the emotions and conflicts that shape the behaviors and well-being of our children.
“Parents, in their desire to excel, can often feel powerless and overwhelmed, swinging between responsibilities and the desire to provide quality education. However, true human connection, that precious time spent soul-by-soul, is essential to fill the emotional voids that could otherwise be sought in the virtual world provided by technology.
In an increasingly digitally connected world, it is essential to recognize that technology, while useful, cannot replace the warmth and safety offered by a loving home. Our children can get lost in the search for a digital refuge, when in reality, all they want is to be seen and loved for who they really are.
I share with you not only my professional knowledge, but also my heart as a parent, with the hope that together we will open new paths to harmonious and affectionate development for our children.” - Mihaela Cozma - Parenting in digital era

Tanya Vuscan
“Living in the future at ISO”
My name is Tanya Vuscan and I am 12 years old and I am a student at ISO. My previous schools were top schools in our city, “Oltea Doamna” and “Emanuil Gojdu”. I am always searching for something different and trying new things. I love being an ISO student because in class I am supported to think outside the box, to think for myself and we always try to experiment things which makes the lessons interactive and fun. Last but not least, using technology is my favorite part; it is just like living in the future because we always use smartboards, laptops and even headphones. What I really like is the fact that we have many e-learning platforms, like Century Platform for example which is more individually directed to students. Their vision is for every teacher and learner to have access to intelligent tools that helps us succeed. It`s a platform which has combined the latest research in learning science, artificial intelligence and neuroscience to ensure CENTURY is underpinned by evidence-based scientific and pedagogical techniques.
