Operating in Pazardjik, Bulgaria, our partner, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to fostering social integration, civic responsibility, and democracy. Through community events, educational programs, and environmental projects, our partner empowers youth, promotes solidarity, and addresses societal challenges such as crime and discrimination. With a team of specialists from various sectors, including education and social work, they collaborate closely with local authorities and stakeholders to create a supportive environment for all citizens, particularly those with disabilities and special needs. By engaging with Bulgarian NGOs, schools, and international partners, our partner strives to create lasting positive impact and promote inclusive development within the community and beyond.

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
