The Plovdiv Youth Centre has already been awarded the award twice, and the positive recommendation from this visit is an important step towards its renewal for a third time. This is recognition of the sustainability, professionalism and strong institutional support behind our work, as well as the consistent application of the Council of Europe’s core values ​​– democracy, human rights and the rule of law, which underpin our mission and activities.
