Impact measured, year by year.
The results of Asociația Grupul Verde, with the figures from our annual activity reports and the association’s records: how many young people learned with us, where we worked and what changed for them.
Activity map · 2021–2026

Key figures · 2021–2026
Every figure shows its source: attendance lists, volunteer contracts, partnership agreements and reports to funders.
Activities · 2021–2026
The programmes and projects of each year, with the figures from our activity reports, plus the online courses in 9 cities.
The first Youth Code Academy cohorts: Scratch, Code.org and Marty robots, in our partner schools.
Our year of greatest growth: the Digital Education & AI hub with Fondation Orange, 100 young people building sensors and a Bacău–Vrancea STEM weekend.
Young people moved from learning technology to using it for their town: EduHack, Green Week, the Vrancea–Bucharest Digital Weekend and the Europa FM Green Medal.
Online courses for lower- and upper-secondary schools in Cluj-Napoca, Iași, Sibiu, Brașov, Baia Mare, Constanța, Timișoara, Arad and Oradea, with pupils from 13 localities around each city.

Theory of change · 2025
From our resources to the change we are working towards by 2035. Every result shows its evidence, and we say openly what we have not measured yet.

Measurement · from 2026
From 2026 we track not only how many young people took part, but also what they learned and where they go next.
Eurostat · OECD · INS data
Our programmes start from problems we see every day and that the statistics confirm: children dropping out of school, adults without digital skills, young people without work.
Sources: Eurostat, NEET 2025 · Eurostat, digital skills 2025 · OECD, PISA 2025
Strategic alignment
Every programme is aligned with the UN Goals and the European Green Deal.
Digital skills for everyone, wherever they live
IT career guidance and Youthpass for the skills gained
Rural, girls, disabilities — everyone included
Sensors, biodiversity, BGCI, climate code
Natura 2000 monitoring, BGCI network
