After a motivational meeting held in the town of Perushtitsa, the students from the Hristo Botev School in the town of Perushtitsa applied and were approved in our competition for youth initiatives. Both ideas they want to implement are related to celebrating international days.
Today we share with you the "Smile" initiative dedicated to the International Day of Happiness. Its organizers are the students Kancho Bozhkov, Valentin Atanasov, Nikolay Spasov and Mitko Chakarov. The boys led classmates and friends down the smile path by pasting colorful paper steps to one of the school's lobbies. There they set up a board where they talk about this special day and give directions for exchanging positive thought slips from which their classmates can give and take smiles throughout the day. After that, part of the educational team of ME Youth Centre Plovdiv held a discussion in which the young people expressed their views on the meaning of happiness and the challenges on the way to achieving it.
The youth initiative is realized as part of the project "Youth Centre Plovdiv - a powerful factor for local development" under the program "Local Development, Poverty Reduction and Enhanced Inclusion of Vulnerable Groups, financed by the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area 2014-2021.
