Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

The project aims to promote Bulgarian culture and contribute to decentralization by organizing an annual traveling festival visiting smaller settlements in the country. A traveling festival promoting Bulgarian culture, presenting selected works from the field of cinema, theater, music, literature and visual arts. In each city, the festival organizes meetings of citizens with talented and favorite artists. 
The festival is free of charge for all events. The program covers the interests of representatives of all genders and age groups. A priority for the festival is also the maintenance of an attractive children's program, which aims to involve the youngest in the cultural life in the country.
