Culture Hub Bulgaria is using education and culture to develop talent and opportunities for creative individuals, through transmission of knowledge and European expertise and through promotion of innovative practices. We are linking three main fields of action:
EDUCATION:
> to provide innovative and sustainable educational opportunities to the Bulgarian communities, targeting with priority the disadvantaged areas, and to encourage creativity and art as a teaching methodology
> to increase the number of trained professionals and cultural management specialists by organizing trainings and capacity building programs in collaboration with European partners
> to increase the quality of life-long learning in the country
PARTNER PROJECTS:
> to create and join international networks and foster new collaborations
> to provide assistance in applications for projects on the European level as well as their organization, implementation and evaluation
ART AND CREATIVITY:
> to promote local art, artistic and artisan practices through developing an art market in Bulgaria and through creating new opportunities for partner projects
> to provide support to cultural professionals, artists and interested individuals in finding funds, planning and implementing projects
We consider cultural and creative sector as an important tool for development and cross-sectorial innovation. Our mission is to make Culture Hub Bulgaria a space for common dialogue and exchange of ideas among motivated, creative individuals who want to make a difference in their community by implementing various innovative interdisciplinary projects for the benefit of our target groups. We, as a platform, act as facilitators in making those ideas and projects come true through our collaboration and international networks.
We have 16 members (and growing). 3 persons are directly involved in the work of the organization on a volunteer basis.
