Key Experts Group has come out with the creative concept and implements a detailed action plan for a project under the Youth Programme of the State Agency for Youth and Sports to support. The "Anthem of the Hristo Botev-named schools in Bulgaria" competition project is aimed to support youth activities and create more opportunities for identifying, satisfying and solving youth problems and needs through the means of informal education. There is a special focus on Bulgarian schools in regions with concentrated multi-ethnical groups, non-equal rights regions and schools for children with special needs.
Among the main objectives of the Anthem-project are:
o Activate personal and collective creative work under a topic deeply connected with Bulgaria's history and culture inheritance
o Stimulation, motivation and cultivation of leaders among the young people of Bulgaria in fields connected with education and culture
o Drawing public attention to schools in troubled regions
As a result Key Experts Group expects a strong public engagement in popularizing and implementation of such-like youth-oriented ideas; drawing youth's attention to participation in community projects, extra-class activities, better knowledge of Bulgarian history and culture, proactive response from a great number of Bulgarian schools, and last but not least - creating and adding value to contemporary youth creative work.
In April 2007 the "Anthem of the Hristo Botev-named schools in Bulgaria" project was approved by the State Agency for Youth and Sports. The selected winners from a total of 400 schools in Bulgaria will take part in the official Nation-wide program celebrating 160-years from the birth of national hero and revolutionary Hristo Botev.
