The association “Vdahnovebie” was created by idea of the team which realized the project “Via Regia” (Youth informational and consulting centre – MIKC – Ruse, 2007). The association realized also project “Via Regia 2” (MIKC-Ruse 2008-2009) and is now implementing “Via Regia 3” (MIKC-Ruse 2010). By means of this project the range of young people was increased who took advantage of the services offered by the centre. We increased the target group and the services offered by the centre. We made trainings in the small towns and villages where there is a lack of information on youth activities and opportunities which the young people have to realize their own ideas, helped by the existing youth programs. We realized various campaigns, sport and culture events for the young people in Ruse.
The association has a project “Danube Rhythms” on which the activities were realized in 2009. The aim was the young people to get to know and learn the characteristic for each folklore district in Bulgaria – songs and dances, to preserve the folk wealth of the Bulgarians and in this way to reconsider their free time occupations. The project was financed by the Program for youth activities of the State Agency for Youth and Sport (ДАМС).
