Morgana Post number 25613 Posted: 29th April 2019     Subject: The Exhibition "Bridge Between Cultures”
View user's profile
From Petar Gramatikoff
The Exhibition "Bridge Between Cultures” visits in five Bulgarian cities from March to September 2019 and at the UN Geneva in the autumn
From 1 to 10 May this year. in the Trakart gallery in Plovdiv you will be able to see the inspirational exhibition of 22 professional panels with photographs of the photographers Kalina and Boris Borisovi. The exhibition reflects the innovative approach to seeking a dialogue between cultures that BRIDGES CC has been developing for a third year.

Inter-cultural Youth Project "Bridge-Between-Cultures" - a summer camp for children, implemented with the help of the municipality of Stara Zagora proves that the joint efforts of the non-governmental sector, the municipal institutions and the companies from the region can create a good partnership to give good fruits.

In 2016 and 2017 the initiative was implemented only with Bulgarian youth, but in 2018 it was successfully upgraded internationally. Two of the organizations, part of the global network of URI Europe - BRIDGES CC and East European Forum for Dialogue (BRIDGES CC) and URI Netherlands CC, in partnership with the Stara Zagora Municipality, have implemented the first international edition of Cross-Bridges.

The project was organised in two parts, with 18 children from Bulgaria and the Netherlands, with the participants spending four days together in each of the countries. The group met first in Stara Zagora from 16 to 20 July and continued with The Hague from 27 to 31 July 2018. Partners in the endeavour for the second part were Ethics Education for Children - Arigatou International and CERITA.

The exhibition presents distinctive moments, emotions, experiences of the days together, shows how 18 young people from Bulgaria and the Netherlands had the opportunity to get to know people of different religious and cultural identities, to look for ways to build bridges of trust contributing to positive transformation in the local communities.
The story of co-living through the eyes of professional photographers Kalina and Boris Borisova answers many questions and helps us to see the meaning of building bridges.
In the period 15-22 October 2018 the exhibition was presented to the National Assembly of the Republic of Bulgaria with the support of the Deputy Chairman Mr. Emil Hristov and the MPs Mr. Radostin Tanev and Mr. Milen Mihov (who personally welcomed and opened event). After the successful reception and wide-ranging echo of the Parliament's Bridge-Between-Culture Exhibition, the 22 Panes are on the road to new challenges in five Bulgarian cities.

This year, the photo exhibition is hosted in the cities from which the children participated in the three editions of the project - Stara Zagora, Veliko Tarnovo, Rousse, Plovdiv, Belitsa.
Plovdiv as the European capital of culture is an important part of the tour of the exhibition. It will be exhibited at the TRAKART Museum Cultural Center from 1 to 10 May 2019. From the Armenian community, with the active cooperation of the Armenian Charity Association "AGE" and Mrs. Hripsime Erniasyan, are our wonderful hosts and partners in Plovdiv who actively participated in the organisation and the preparation of the official opening of the exhibition.

It will be held on May 9 at 5.30 pm, after which guests will be able to enjoy a varied palette of musical performances of the choir "Evmolpeia", the violinist Nina Kuyumdjiyan, a violinist from the Church of Jesus Christ the Latter-day Saints, and Armenian dance formations at the "Parekordzagan" Plovdiv Branch.
Catering with Armenian specialities will be prepared at the Yerevan restaurant, owner and chef is Arto Tutjan, with the financial help of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and "Bridges" also provides a glass of wine from "Angel's Estate" .
All day 9.05. in TRAKART, training and lectures will be held for youngsters devoted to tolerance, Peter Gramatikov, Chief Expert on Religious Affairs at the Social Policy Directorate, Plovdiv Municipality.

Several dialogues will also be held, focusing on dialogue and inter-religious partnership.

Dear all,

I have just arrived home after a fabulous week in PLOVDIV, Bulgaria.

As ever I was greeted by very friendly folk and quickly made the last arrangements for the PFI Bulgarian Spring Symposium.
And what a lovely weekend it turned out to be!
Sadly Lina / NC PFI Bulgaria was not ably to make it due to illness.

There were many highlights including Ekaterina's excellent guided tour of the Archaelogical Museum. On Sunday we would meet her & Georgi Mishev again for the excursion to Starosel to visit the ancient temple and newly founded temple.
They both gave talks on Saturday along with Yanina from Russia.
In the afternoon we had our 'Meet PFI' with representatives from Bulgaria/ Israfela, Netherlands/ Morgana, Spain/Angel, Russia/ Gwiddon & Eva and Ukraine/ Adulruna & Alexandra

Fr. Petar Gramatikoff represented URI and talked of the cooperation between the two organisations. He also introduced Michael Dickinson from Baraza e. V/ Germany - who has also worked with URI.
For the evening's entertainment we were treated to a traditional bag-piper and singer.
Hopefully a more extensive report will be made later!
But for now I would like to extend a BIG thank you to everyone for their participation [Love] [Love]

Here are some photo's
