previously entered Guinness World Records on September 13, 2025, in Alba Iulia<\/a> with the longest table made from recyclable materials. The table installed around the Alba Carolina Citadel measured 2,782.96 meters and hosted more than 10,000 people.<\/p>\nThe Bucharest edition seeks to approximately double both the table\u2019s length and the number of participants.<\/p>\n
\u201cBucharest raises the stakes: we are talking about a large city with very different communities, and the challenge is to bring 20,000 people to the same table and create, even for a few hours, a genuine space for meeting and dialogue,\u201d said Bloom The World founder Alexa V\u00eelcan.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe cities need such settings, where people can rediscover the joy of being together, get to know one another, and contribute ideas to their community,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Reservations can be made individually or for groups. Nongovernmental organizations, associations, institutions, communities, and companies can also register to participate.<\/p>\n
The event will raise donations for the Metropolis Foundation\u2019s Public Hospitals from Private Funds initiative, which plans to build Romania\u2019s first pediatric psychiatry hospital within the Prof. Dr. Alexandru Obregia Clinical Psychiatry Hospital. The planned facility is expected to serve more than 5,700 children with severe mental health conditions annually.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us, beyond the record, this edition represents an opportunity to bring closer to reality a hospital that will benefit more than 5,700 children every year,\u201d said Metropolis Foundation president Codin Maticiuc. \u201cMasa Care Une\u0219te is about community, but above all about what a community can achieve when it comes together around a real need.\u201d<\/p>\n
Donations can be made while reserving a seat, through QR codes available during the event, or in collection boxes managed by volunteers.<\/p>\n
The program will also include live concerts, performances, and activities for children.<\/p>\n
