📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
https://inheritedculture.com/contact/
The Open Space Foundation was founded in 2006 with the aim of supporting and promoting cultural dialogue and relationships through various forms of art and communication. We seek and create bridges between traditions and modernity, between cultures, between generations.
Since 2008, we have been developing educational and cultural programs with a special focus on children and youth. We have established ourselves as an organization that works and upholds its standards. We respect cultural diversity and encourage cultural dialogue and interaction to occur in all spaces of life. The focus of our work is children and young people. Since 2008, we have been developing a program in which, through arts and crafts, we provoke creativity and encourage the development of participants. During the summer months, we attract youth and children from Bulgaria and the world. Since 2011, we have been working on a program to support youth initiatives, in which, after training and defending a project idea, young people receive funding and supervision for the implementation of their projects.
Since 2013, we have been working in the town of Veliki Preslav, assisting archaeologists and museum workers in archaeological excavations in the old capital Preslav. We promote the town as a place for historical and cultural tourism, working with local people to develop their capacity. Since 2023, we have expanded our network and are now assisting in excavations of the Ancient City of Heraclea Sintica near Petrich town and the Misionis Fortress near Targovishte town.

ℹ️ Additional information
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).
