“It’s stupid to be stupid – it’s good to know” – Hristiyana and Ivaylo think. These are two curious Bulgarians – a photographer and an actor by profession, maniacs for knowledge and odd facts. To make others interested, they launched the Ayde BG video channel on YouTube thematically on March 3rd – the national day of Bulgaria.

Teach for Bulgaria – quality education for every child in Bulgaria

„Teach for Bulgaria“ organization joins the initiative of “Trotoara” Foundation. They will invite children from their schools to visit the concert for free.

Moreover, all those who wish to do something good for Bulgarian pupils can get involved. Through our fundraising campaign, https://www.generosity.com/celebration-fundraising/t-r-a-p, you can buy a ticket for a child from “Together in Class” platform.

The mission of the organization is to ensure equal access to quality education for every child in Bulgaria, regardless of the place where they live, the school in which they study, their ethnic background and the social-economic situation of the parents. Program teachers work with students from vulnerable communities in schools across the whole country. This way they build a strong community of current and graduate participants as well as key partners from all sectors for long-term development.

In program schools, pupils encounter learning difficulties, show unsatisfactory results from external evaluations, have low motivation to learn, and are at risk of dropping out of the education system. Management in these schools meets the challenges with readiness and, despite the difficulties, seeks new paths to the success of their pupils.

For the complete program of the festival part and more surprises and organizations you will meet there, follow the Facebook page of the event.

One thing is certain – all of our partners are united around their love for what they do. Together, we prove that it is possible for you to succeed and evolve, while you do what you love

With the events of 9.12 we hope to reach out to young people in their development capabilities, help them rediscover their talents and find a way to create not only a more beautiful urban environment, more meaningful and enriching online space but also more emotional and devoted basis for each of them.

This is also the goal of T.R.A.P. – to lay the foundations of all members of society so that each one can leave a trace.

We look forward to see you on 9.12 at 12:00 o’clock at UACEG.
