Do you love writing and telling stories? What if you could do that and make a difference? Are you curious about what it’s like to be a journalist—writing articles, producing videos, or reporting from the ground?

Fifteen Bulgarian professionals from the public, private, and NGO sectors have been selected to participate in the third edition of the America for Bulgaria Foundation’s Leadership Education in America Program (LEAP) in the summer of 2025.

At CITE 2025, communities like the Devetaki Plateau and Belene proved that when locals unite around their traditions and strengths, they can turn even the smallest places into unforgettable destinations.

The America for Bulgaria Foundation, in association with the World Press Institute, is offering an exciting opportunity for an early- to mid-career Bulgarian journalist with at least five years of professional experience to take up a media fellowship in the United States in the autumn of 2025.

There has been a recent surge in media publications expressing negative opinions about the Bishop’s Basilica of Philippopolis, Prof. Elena Kantareva, director of the Ancient Plovdiv Municipal Institute, and her team. These individuals have faced unwarranted legal claims in an attempt to undermine their professional credibility and weaken their resolve.

The call for proposals aims to transform the exhibition into a modern and interactive permanent exhibition, in line with the world’s leading museum standards. This will offer visitors of different ages, nationalities, and levels of knowledge an engaging and memorable experience. The project will contribute to the promotion of the museum, its exhibitions, and the history of Bulgaria.

This RFP invites project proposals in social-impact areas such as sustainable development and environmental science from researchers, scientists, and engineers aged 18–40 with applied science backgrounds.

Join us from July 16 to October 20, 2024, for the extraordinary Fake (f)or Real exhibition at Sofia’s Ethnographic Museum, brought to you by the House of European History in Brussels.

We are delighted to announce that the Bishop’s Basilica of Philippopolis has been shortlisted in the cultural heritage category of the prestigious SHARE Architecture Awards. These awards recognize outstanding architecture projects across Central and Eastern Europe, celebrating innovative designs and remarkable transformations that contribute to cultural and urban development.
