This took place as part of the initiative “The Bridge to Society and Institutions,” which accompanies the activities under the project “Young People – The Future of Bulgaria with Unlimited Opportunities,” Agreement No. 25-00-20/10.07.2023, implemented with financial support from the National Youth Program (2021-2025), Thematic Direction – “Non-formal Education for Acquiring Skills and Key Competencies,” and the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The youth space has been planted with various tree species and shrubs. Plans include creating areas for relaxation and promoting reading and informal learning by placing benches equipped with QR codes linking to a library application with the inscription “Read in the park!” The grand opening ceremony of the “Garden of the World” in Pazardzhik was also attended by the legendary Hristo Stoichkov, Olympic swimming champion Tanya Bogomilova, as well as karate champions Ivet Goranova and Jovana Prekovic.
