CVS – Bulgaria Projects
The Tolerance Project
From March till June 2012 the EVS volunteer Judith den Boer was leading a working group of few volunteers on
Human Rights. Their idea was tolead different workshops in high schools in Sofia on topics like tolerance, cultural diversity, prejudice and racism. The group developed a programme to introduce the topic in an academic hour through non-formal education. Most of volunteers in the working group are also volunteers in the Integration Centre for Refugees in Sofia. They had workshops in half a dozen high schools around Sofia. Although the results are not impressive in terms of numbers, it is essential that the topic was brought up and discussed between students in schools. More about the impressions of the volunteers participating, you can find here. More.

Volintegration
The Volintegration project ran simultaneously in 12 countries all over Europe. It aimed to establish a European network of different bodies to promote volunteering as powerful means to develop sense of belonging both to local and European communities and creating a feeling of ownership and therefore commitment toward society. At the same time we wanted to inform young people and youth leaders on European opportunities for social inclusion and integration. More
Be Active, Broaden Your Perspectives
Over 150 young Bulgarian people were trained through the numerous project activities, gaining more self-confidence and knowledge on topics related to voluntarism, human rights and so on. The organization process was very vibrant and there was a constant need of adaptation to the circumstances in order to achieve the envisioned goals of the project. This project was also beneficial to CVS-Bulgaria as it helped the organization to redefine its priorities for future work through absorbing the ideas and proposals stemming from the young and innovatively-thinking volunteers and facilitate the process of their implementation.
