We integrate on Romanian labour market adults that struggle to get a job, through 4 circular economy workshops:
educlick
We collect electrical and electronic waste, we recondition the IT equipment and we donate it to schools and rural areas.
remesh
We upcycle advertising banners and meshes, which we transform into ethical and sustainable fashion products.
ferma bio&co
We grow organically certified vegetables at the social farm in Ciocănari village and distribute them weekly in Bucharest.
logietic
We carry out copacking activities: packing, labelling, loading of sustainable and responsible products.
Ateliere Fără Frontiere is a non-profit organization, established in 2008, which integrates people from vulnerable backgrounds into the labor market in Romania, in a sustainable and environmentally responsible way.
Since 2019, AFF is affiliated to Groupe SOS, a global network working to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
The projects run by AFF respond to the need of excluded people to be socially and economically reintegrated in society, to the need for responsible waste management and the need for access to digital education in disadvantaged or isolated communities.
We integrate people in difficulty into the labor market, with care for the environment.
We believe in people.
- Solidarity and Integration
- Systemic development
- Care for the environment, care for people
- Creativity and innovation
- Entrepreneurship
- Trust
- Social justice
Around the integration activities we created programs, projects and campaigns to:
- help us fight against exclusion, poverty and discrimination
- help us fight against waste and pollution
- build solidarity and support local education and development

Dăm Click pe România
Digital school is for everyone
Dăm Click pe Romania is a program of the Ateliere Fără Frontiere Association that aims to digitize education in Romania and reduce the educational gap by equipping educational organizations operating in marginalized rural or urban areas with digital infrastructure: kindergartens, schools, high schools, non-governmental organizations or public institutions with a social character.
Since 2008, Ateliere Fără Frontiere has donated over 27,000 refurbished computers through its donation program. In total, 3163 educational organisations have benefited from equipment in the last 15 years, the equivalent of more than 10% of all schools in Romania.
Ateliere Fără Frontiere has been donating refurbished computers to rural schools in Romania since 2008, but since 2019 this program is called Dăm Click pe Romania and is financially supported by Kaufland Romania and OMV Petrom.
