“The world belongs to us!”
The school before
Inspiration for the interior design
‘The world belongs to us!’ is the theme that is incorporated into inspiring images, messages, understanding about life and development of young people in Bulgaria. Young people are a ‘valuable capital’, they represent the future of every country. Their activity and participation in public life are of key importance – their interests, views and opinion should be represented and considered in policy and decision making, and in the economic development. Caring for the young is the most important national cause to ensure the European development of Bulgaria.
Project description
Young people look ahead into the future. They want to conquer new lands and worlds. They are excited about innovation and achievements.
