The season has awaken the rise of outdoor events and we have no intention of staying in one place – it’s time for summer adventures… Our adventure is called “Shak tuk tam”.

You say what?

We from Association FOR YOU, together with few other NGOs* from Varna are gathering a super team and we are going on a tour! In the span of couple of months we will go travel to Varna, Dobrich, Burgas, Plovdiv and Sofia – just for a short bit, in order to organize 8 free events at outdoor places such as – town squares, streets and parks.

Sound cool … but why?

We want to meet up with youngsters from all around Bulgaria and make new friendships with interesting people, why not event partnerships with other NGOs around the country. The plan is during every event to have a great time while listening to music, playing sports and games, doing arts and sharing ideas … on other words hanging around to make a positive impact and make summer 2019 an unforgettable adventure! Other than that we also want to share with the most curious of you a little bit useful information about the work in Bulgarian NGOs, also to tell you which are the free ways that you can go on an adventure here, in Bulgaria or even abroad while volunteering, going on an internship, a training course and much more.
