From August 2025 till January 2026, the Observatory will lead the initiative “Creative Youth Activism for Democracy and Participation in Small and Big Cities,” implemented in partnership with Chitalishte “St. St. Cyril and Methodius” – Topolovgrad.

 

The aim is to bring together young people from Sofia and Topolovgrad. Over the six months, 30 students will take part in photo missions, workshops, and two exchange visits, culminating in a youth-led festival in Topolovgrad. By fostering intercity exchange, amplifying youth voices, and creating spaces for civic participation, the initiative contributes to building more inclusive, green, and democratic communities.

 

This initiative is carried out within the framework of the “Rights and Values” programme and is co-funded by the European Union and the Workshop for Civic Initiatives Foundation (WCIF). #ProEUvaluesBG #ФРГИ #PCO
