From May 29th to June 3rd, SCI Catalunya hosted in Barcelona a group of 10 volunteers from SCI European network as part of the project ”Opening Minds to Remove Barriers” financed under the Erasmus + Programme of the Council of Europe. The objective of the seminar was to give tools to workers and volunteers who deal with social inclusion issues in their organizations across Europe. Corine Wouabeng, volunteer of CVS Bulgaria, went to this training and shared with us what she learned.

During the previous weeks CVS-Bulgaria has been very busy with some exciting donations distributions! Thanks to the generosity of the children’s families of Exploratorium, a unique children’s educational centre where discovery and creativity meet, they were able to collect a huge amount donations for asylum seekers and refugees’ families! On 11th October, a group of volunteers and interns from CVS-Bulgaria led a big distribution campaign in Ovcha Kupel reception centre in Sofia.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. But how much do you actually know about this issue? 

Our friends from VCV Serbia and GAIA Kosovo share with us what they learned on the  last activity of Balkan Myth Busters, a project aiming at creating a more critical understanding of nationalism and the tools of propaganda and political mythology amongst young people from Balkan region and Germany.
