A two-day training in the format of an Innovation Camp on the theme “Active for the development of our communities”, part of the “16 days of Activism” campaign, took place in Silistra on October 3 and 4, 2023.
Twenty-four young people participated in student teams from 6 schools in the district who studied and discussed how to contribute to the development of their region through their personal economic and civic activity for two days. With the help of educators and consultants, they came up with ideas that take advantage of the natural and historical heritage to provide employment and preserve valuable resources for future generations. The event organizers were the BeActive project leading organization of the “Parallel-Silistra” Association in cooperation with the Regional Department of Education – Silistra and the Municipality of Silistra, Department “Education and Youth Activities”. The Silistra Branch of Ruse University “A. Kanchev” hosted the event.
During the innovation camp, through the website and Facebook profile of the project, the student teams got acquainted with the initiatives of the International Youth Campaign “16 days of Activism” in Bulgaria, Spain, Italy and Portugal, with the digital stories, as well as with the other resources of the project – help “16 active days”, digital portfolio of the project partners, toolkit for shared practices, cards for creative conversations, training materials for intercultural cooperation and environmental awareness, etc.
The organisers express special thanks to the IT expert Borislav Ganev, who technically supported the workshop implementation for two days.
