 Network collaboration

Association International Initiatives for Cooperation hosted an event on April 25, 2024, organized by our colleagues from the "Bulgarian Youth Association", Sofia, who are also long-term members of the National Network Anna Lindh Bulgaria. Together we organised a workshop for young people in our office in the city of Razlog. The facilitators of the event were Christian Andreev, who founded the "Bulgarian Youth Association"  (BYA)in 2014 and Maria Stoilova, a pedagogue and a psychologist.  BYA is another model for a working youth organization. It maintains one of the most active social media groups related to youth opportunities for development. The topic of the workshop was discrimination among young people in a school environment and it sparked the interest of the young people who joined the workshop. The young people shared that the activities we had prepared for them were very interesting, different and not burdensome. Apart from the fact that the young people participated with pleasure in the workshop, they also created new contacts. After the workshop, each participant received a certificate of participation, which they can use in the future. It was a pleasure to work together with colleagues with whom we share similar values ​​and approaches for working with youngsters. We are open to such collaborations with all members of the national network Anna Lindh Bulgaria.

The name of the project in which the workshop was implemented:  LET’S TALK!, financed by “Erasmus+” Programme.

The guidebook „DIGITAL HANDBOOK FOR YOUTH-WORKERS: ADDRESSING BULLYING AGAINST LGBTQIA+INDIVIDUALS IN HIGH SCHOOLS“is published on the resource centre platform.

"Bridge through the times" in action

The new member of the network - association "Magna Silva" already started with the quizzes on the project "Bridge through the times", about which we shared information in the previous newsletter. The quizzes were held during February in the Great Basilica in Plovdiv, which is also a partner in the project. At the moment there are 5 teams that have participated in the competition and that show extremely high knowledge on historical topics. The release of the historical board game, developed especially for the "Battle for Philippopol" project, will be held very soon. The "Magna Silva" team, together with their tour guide colleagues, are preparing a training program for teenagers to train them as voluntary touristic guides for the cultural and historical heritage of Plovdiv. We will be waiting for more information on the development of this activity. Volunteers of the association will select and "adopt" five of the less known historical sites for the city to contribute to their socialization.

We also attach links to the facebook page of the organisation from which you can see the implementation of the described activities:

The aim of the workshop was to unite and bring the children together the children through artistic activities so that they could more easily understand the principles of the Anna Lindh Foundation and the European Union.

The mayor and deputy mayor of Haskovo Municipality, as well as women from the "Inner Wheel" women's club, also supported the event.

Before the beginning of the Christmas holidays, the school held a big charity concert, in which students from different classes took part. In addition to music and dance performances, the students also presented a satirical play under the title "Santa Claus Goes to a Psychologist".

"EPharmony" project

EPharmony project

At the end of each of our projects, our team use to say: "Good job, this project was the best!". And we do think that it couldn't have been implemented in a better way.

Well, this time it really was a great experience! EPharmony project, a very different one, has ended, after which we feel calm and extremely satisfied. We chose the village of Banya, Razlog municipality as a location for the project, a combination of rural environment with beautiful nature and modern spa facilities that our participants could use in their free time. We had the right local partners who were very easy to work with, we had extremely clean and well-maintained outdoor spaces available for the outdoor activities, the weather was great and of course we were privileged to have the best participants we could wish for.

We had also put a lot of efforts to make it happen. We have prepared activities providing a lot of new knowledge and at the same time working to build harmony between body and mind. We had external speakers who shared their experience and knowledge with us. Iva Parapunova, a nutritionist, gave us useful tips and a lot of new knowledge about proper nutrition, Aksinia and Martina from Lotus Vibe were with us at Tai-Chi, dance meditation and aerial yoga sessions, Mariyana Stefanova showed us how to be creative, helped us make beautiful coffee and tea cups and gave us a magical reiki session. We could not deprive our participants of a walk among nature since wewere surrounded by three mountains. We had a very special time at the Veterani Hut in Rila mountain and after that we ¨jumped¨ to Pirin mountain to prepare a picnic among nature. We had emotional moments while everyone was making their own collage describing turning points in their lives and while we were looking for answers to problems accompanying our daily lives.

EPharmony project brought together the right people in the right place at the right time! We hope that the activities and experiences during the project will guide participants to achieve emotional and physical harmony between mind, heart and soul!

 

EPharmony project was implemented during the period 26 - 30 June of “International Initiatives for Cooperation” as lead organization, in the village of Banya, municipality of Razlog, thanks to our Erasmus Accreditation in the Youth Sector and was financed by the "Erasmus +" program of the European Union.
