“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. Less than nine months later, Ivaylo and Hristiyana now have over 100,000 followers.
What’s the secret of their popularity and more about vlogging, you can find out on December 9th in the festival’s workshops between 12 and 18 hours.
This will be the first fan-encounter with the founders of the popular video channel. In the United States, over 60% of young people want to become vloggers. The profession is gaining popularity in Bulgaria. For the first time two of the Bulgarian representatives of this modern profession will provide an open lecture on what is required for successful realization in this field.
Until then, you can go to their channel and enrich your knowledge of Bulgaria and “this CRAZY planet,” as they themselves call it.

On December 9th Nasko will share his experience and will make a presentation on the following main concepts in photography:
National Community center “Ivan Vazov” – independent and self-governing association in Poduyane district, which preserves cultural, educational and informational traditions.
The mission of the “Ivan Vazov – 2014” Community Center is to create, preserve and spread spiritual values, develop creative abilities and satisfy cultural needs and interests of citizens, to create conditions for communication between people, business initiatives and projects, development plan of social and educational activities.
On December 9th representatives of the community center will present their experiences and initiatives related to the transformation of the urban environment through contemporary art, including graffiti.
The platform of community centres and educational activities will also be presented – iskrata.bg. Based on social networks – a messaging system, posting events, initiatives or trainings, galleries of photos and videos – you can keep track of everything new and important from the cultural world and the education in your area.
„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.
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.
