Our Mission

At rujufu, we believe that travel and education go hand in hand. Our mission is to create engaging, accurate, and age-appropriate educational materials that inspire children to explore and understand European cultures, geography, history, and languages.

We aim to make learning about Europe an adventure that sparks curiosity and fosters global citizenship from an early age.

We envision a world where children grow up with a rich understanding of European diversity, heritage, and interconnectedness. Through our carefully crafted educational materials, we hope to contribute to raising a generation of informed, culturally aware, and open-minded global citizens.

Children exploring educational materials about Europe

Our Story

rujufu was founded in 2018 by a group of educators, travelers, and parents who shared a passion for European culture and children's education. After noticing a gap in the market for child-friendly, accurate, and engaging educational materials about Europe, we decided to combine our expertise to create resources that would make learning about European countries exciting for young minds.

Starting with just a small collection of country guides, our offerings have now expanded to include interactive maps, cultural activity books, language introduction cards, historical storybooks, and digital resources. Every product we create is developed with input from educational experts and tested with real children to ensure it meets our high standards for engagement and educational value.

Today, our materials are used by families, schools, and educational organizations across the globe, helping thousands of children discover the wonders of Europe through play and exploration.
