Aviva is the oldest operating insurance company in the world and with Romania being the newest member of the European Union it was appropriate that Aviva Romania promoted diversity by introducing this new customs to Romania." stated Andi McLennan, director of marketing and propositions, Aviva Romania.

On 1 April, hundreds of children aged between 4-10 years answered the invitation to the "Aviva Easter Egg Hunt". Participants attending this free event were pleased to find a fairy tale world, in which they've met their favorite characters and Easter bunny's team which distributed over 5,000 eggs and many other prizes.

A team of artists painted children's faces, children were entertained by a range of bouncy castles, ball ponds and games and a balloon artists surprised participants with many innovative creations.

The "Easter Egg Hunt" consisted of searching for painted eggs within a specially designed contest arena. Hundreds of excited children wearing specially designed Aviva bunny ears hurried to signing-up for the contest. The contest had two rounds and one final, and the winning contestant went home with a new bicycle.
