Tolerance Caravan ended
Last destination – Burgas
Our
Tolerance Caravan ended several days ago. The last destination was Burgas.
Our volunteers enjoyed the
journeys through different cities of Bulgaria very much.
Previously
in Stara Zagora we had cheerful street activities near the 5th of
October Park. Late in the evening we left the city and went by bus to Sliven.
Sliven is a small city, famous for its blue rocks and its national park, the
fresh air and the mineral springs. On the 16th of May the Tolerance
Caravan visited The Foreign Languages Gymnasium Zahari Stoyanov, the
Professional Gymnasium of Civil Engineering and the St.Paisi Hilendarski Roma
school at Sotiria. The students greeted us warmly and showed great interest in
our presentation. Many were motivated to find out more about the No Hate Speech
Movement. The next day during our street actions on the main street local
people and students that we talked to the day before got involved in our
actions. They were drawing on the Tolerance Square, taking pictures, writing positive
messages, spreading smiles and happiness.
The
Tolerance Caravan team packed everything up and moved on to Burgas – the
destination we were all very excited about. Burgas is a beautiful city which
welcomed us with its sunny weather. We did presentations and street actions to
promote and raise awareness to locals about Tolerance, the No Hate Speech
Movement and Youth Cause.
Overall,
Tolerance Caravan reached its aim to spread Tolerance idea around Bulgaria. The
journey was very interesting for all of us. On the one hand we challenged
ourselves to work under the circumstances of pressure, became more flexible and
on the other hand we learned more about Bulgaria, culture, history, locals.
Tolerance
Caravan ended, but the striving for tolerance hasn’t. We continue to work for
the greater relations in the society and invite you to join us!
