Lora Krumova and Maria Yotova’s documentary To Outlive the System is a first-person account of the four years Tsvetana Dzhermanova spent in Bulgaria’s Belene and Bosna communist-era labor camps without a conviction or a trial. Her crime? Speaking up against injustice.
“Entrepreneurial leadership is a mindset that focuses organizations on turning problems into opportunities that create economic and social value.” According to Babson, “entrepreneurial leadership goes hand in hand with a relentless optimism about the world. Entrepreneurial leaders are not just risk managers; they are experts at navigating uncertainty. They have a positive outlook about the future, as they are always trying to improve things.”
This America for Bulgaria Foundation–designed and –funded program, in partnership with Babson College, will enable early- to mid-career Bulgarian professionals from the public, private, and NGO sectors to spend three weeks in the United States honing their leadership skills.
The ancient civilizations inhabiting what is now Bulgaria and Southeast Europe are the subject of a new traveling exhibit aiming to assert the region’s place in world history. It opened in New York City on September 21.
The America Meets Bulgaria festival presented Bulgarian businesses and nonprofits changing their communities for the better. Alongside them were Joshua trees, Arizona sunsets, spelling bees, and, yes, a marching band!
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 more than five years of professional experience.
City residents and guests will have the opportunity to enjoy fun activities, workshops, and products resulting from Bulgarian-American partnership in the areas of business and social entrepreneurship, cultural heritage and nature tourism, education and civil society, accompanied by theater, music, food and drinks. The festival is suitable for all ages, with something for every taste and interest.
The fellowship will provide nine-month paid digital marketing placements to 12 recent university graduates or requalifying professionals. During the fellowship, participants will gain professional experience at an NGO partner of the Foundation. The fellows will assist in the development and implementation of digital marketing strategies for key representatives of civil society in Bulgaria.
