Thanks to the financial support of the Anna Lindh Foundation, we successfully organized another in-person gathering for members of the Bulgarian National Network. The meeting took place on May 29–30 and was inspired by the upcoming Anna Lindh Forum in Tirana.
The event featured a series of collaborative workshops designed to leverage the knowledge, experience, and expertise of participating organizations. This hands-on approach provided a powerful opportunity for members to better understand each other’s work, strengthen their connections, and inspire one another to take further action and share their practices.
Workshop Highlights:
The following workshops were delivered by network members and reflected diverse approaches to civic engagement, innovation, and inclusion:
- Cybersecurity in the NGO Sector
Presented by Kristiyan Andreev , Bulgarian Youth Association (Sofia) - Mandala Workshop
Presented by Tsvetina Zaharlieva, Youth and Civil Initiatives in the Rose Valley (Karlovo) - Social Inclusion Through Sport

Collaborative Hackathon: Co-Creating the Future
A key part of the meeting was a dynamic Hackathon focused on co-developing project ideas aligned with the priorities of the Anna Lindh Foundation. The goal was to foster a collaborative and creative space where network members could brainstorm and shape joint initiatives.
The outcome was highly productive: five thematic project concepts were identified as a basis for future collaboration within the Bulgarian Network. These ideas will serve as the foundation for upcoming proposals that further the goals of intercultural dialogue, mutual understanding, and active citizenship.
We thank all participants for their energy, ideas, and commitment to strengthening our network and creating meaningful impact.
