We are proud to announce the presentation of our first project "Establishing a Training and
Production Centre for Youth Participation and Sustainable Agriculture", carried out on 8 the of September 2016.
​
Our main goal is to develop a model supporting youth participation and sustainable agriculture. We wish to enable young people to learn about sustainable agriculture and acquire skills to find employment or start their business in this field. As we see it, this is the successful strategy to
engage young people in the development of rural areas.
We will initiate the setting up of a Green School and a Green Academy for young entrepreneurs
in the village of Nadarevo, Bulgaria.The project will develop a small bio garden for eco
production of fruit, vegetables and decorative plants, as well as a production field comprising of 30 decares. A social enterprise will start functioning in the shortest terms, employing young
people from disadvantaged groups.
The project will support mainly young people , who are not in education or employment. Within the next 5 years we will work for the project's
realization, and, as it turns out, will shall not be alone! A great part of our guests , expressed their utter support for the project. Among them
were representatives of the local municipal and state authorities, business people, school headmasters and private children institutions,
media. Our friends from the NGO Club in Targovishte also came to uphold.
​
​"We endorse the idea, because young people in Bulgaria need the support, and for the sake of Bulgaria village areas! This is a great idea! I feel as a part of something new, coming to life, and I believe it will be amazing! Let us all accept it as a community mission!"- was the call of
Nevena Madzharova, executive director of the NGO Club in Targovishte.
​
“We are grateful to Apostol for coming to inspirit the village. I am tired of seeing abandoned buildings. I have been the village`s mayor for 4
mandates now, and I see with my own eyes young people leaving with a “one way ticket” to look for their happiness in the big city, or abroad.
The truth is young people can hardly find means of living here. It is nice such things happen!-the mayor of Nadarevo,
Mehmed Mehmedov, exclaimed.
Local authority’s representatives applauded the idea and promised cooperation. The head of Humanitarian activities department Kosyo
Kostov said there was no such thing as a Green school in the area and this is especially important for Targovishte, being an agricultural region.
One of the local agro businessmen, Bozhidar Mitov, also expressed his cooperation and willingness to work towards keeping young farmers
close to home.
