Тheme of the project:
“I love Bulgaria”
Inspiration for the interior design:
In Bulgaria there is a variety of flowers, herbs and trees. The landscape is quite unique.
The project aims to teach students about the abundance of our natural resources.
Through this project, we hope to make students aware of the natural resources so that they can begin to care for the land by being involved with planting and grounding work. About two million young people have migrated out of Bulgaria and by launching our project, we hope to encourage people to stay in the country.
