Dear Reader,
 
The agora is an ancient meeting place for the community and a symbol of democracy. There people decided on common affairs together.

21st-Century Agoras
In the modern world, we need agoras just as much as the ancients did — forums allowing us to bond and strengthen our communities for the benefit of all.
 
Over the past 13 years, the AGORA Platform has empowered communities across Bulgaria to take charge of their shared lives through work on public-benefit projects. The resulting agoras are as diverse and colorful as the communities themselves.
The AGORA Platform is a trusted partner in the America for Bulgaria Foundation’s efforts to support local community development. Jointly, the two organizations launched a request for proposals in support of local giving. Visit the RFP page and watch the Q&A webinar for further details.
A business association in Harmanli drew inspiration for their own agora from the city’s history as a provider of food and shelter to passing travelers.

Chitalishte — the Bulgarian Agora
