Programme: All

The problems associated with the functioning of Bulgarian community centers in rural areas are multifaceted and include both social and infrastructural challenges. A key aspect that requires initial efforts is an outdated material and technical base. The physical condition of the building stock, built decades ago, is extremely unmaintained and this leads to wear and tear of walls, ceilings, flooring, cladding, floors and other structural elements. The lack of modernization and funds for renovation of the technical base makes it difficult to conduct modern cultural and educational activities, while at the same time limiting the opportunities for training and entertainment.
The current investment support aims to create conditions for the normal conduct of rehearsals of the active amateur groups in the village of Starosel - the children's folk dance group "Staroselche" and the group of "Singing Grandmothers in Starosel". The halls in the Community Center need repair, and the sanitary facilities - a serious renovation and renewal of the sanitary facilities and water supply.
The halls of the Chitalishte will be renovated by laying waterproofing, laying sustainable flooring and screeds, for a favorable atmosphere for work and a healthy environment for living in the creative halls. The renovation of the corridors by applying paint, replacing electrical elements and lighting fixtures will ensure normal aesthetic access for visitors and guests of the Chitalishte, and will bring a new look and vision to the work of amateur groups. The sanitary facilities will be renovated as essential for a public place. The water supply in the building will be replaced, new tiles will be laid, walls and ceilings will be painted, new flooring with a hygienic base will be laid, the sanitary tiles and lighting will be replaced, as well as the doors to the premises, using an external contractor, according to an approved bill of quantities.
