Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

PII is related to the presentation to a Bulgarian audience of an already existing contemporary Bulgarian cultural product that has had a public display before the date of submission of the PII, namely: The book "The Book of the Roma" was published in 2021. with financial support from OP NOIR. The collection was part of the initiatives to overcome negative stereotypes based on ethnic origin. The topics in the collection have been selected very carefully. 
It is very compact and at the same time contains:
-The path of the Roma from India to Europe;
-The culture of the Roma - the most revered Roma holidays, rites and authentic recipes related to them;
-Religion and language of the Roma;
-Roma tales;
-Famous Roma - did they make their contribution to the cultural development of Bulgaria;
-Roma symbols.
The book was presented in the town of Sliven to high school students from small towns. For this purpose, youth forums and discussions were organized with students from the municipality of Sliven who were at risk of dropping out of school, where the students had the opportunity to learn about the topics included in the book.
The premiere of the  book to students gave us the opportunity to analyze the needs and see that the lack of access to cultural products, the lack of information and facts about Roma culture and history leads to social exclusion and school dropout of children and students from small settlements.
In this regard, this PII envisages the presentation of the "Book for the Roma" and the holding of two workshops in two settlements, outside the main administrative centers, namely: the town of Kotel and the town of Tvarditsa. In addition to the main activity planned for implementation, the PII also envisages activities on organization and management, as well as publicity and information to promote the contribution of the PVI to the implementation of the project.
