The Collective Foundation, known in Bulgarian as " ," is a non-governmental organization established in 2020 with the mission of transforming cities across Bulgaria. By uniting citizens, experts, and institutions, the foundation focuses on enhancing the urban environment through community-driven initiatives. Key Initiatives: The Rivers of the City: Launched in 2020 with the "Rivers of Sofia" festival, this long-term initiative aims to reshape the relationship between cities and their rivers. It has expanded to multiple Bulgarian cities, fostering a network of activists dedicated to urban river revitalization. 100 Chairs: This project revitalizes abandoned urban areas by introducing greenery and cultural elements, activating public life in unconventional locations lacking shared spaces. The Park: In 2023, in collaboration with residents of Sofia's Mladost 4 district, local office workers, artists, designers, and Business Park Sofia, the foundation transformed a 3,000-square-meter rooftop into a multifunctional space for relaxation, meetings, cultural events, and children's activities. Academy for Urban Environment: Supported by the German Embassy in Sofia, this academy develops a network of architecture and urbanism students who propose ideas for new green public spaces in their cities. The initiative builds on the foundation's work with young people and urban enthusiasts in Ruse, Gabrovo, and Sofia since 2021.
The To The Future Foundation works for the benefit of the local community in Wroclaw. It brings together people from diverse backgrounds and ages. The foundation supports children, teenagers, people at risk of social exclusion, people with disabilities, and their guardians. We focus on spreading and promoting European values such as democracy and human rights, supporting cultural and historical education among young citizens of Europe (including shaping the attitude of active citizens and volunteers), acting for tolerance, peace, and understanding between nations, promoting self-development through non-formal learning methodologies, and encouraging social inclusion by promoting lifelong education and the development of 21 competencies for underprivileged groups. Therefore, we organize and participate in local events, meetings, seminars, workshops, and exhibitions, and cooperate with non-governmental organizations and local authorities to improve healthy behaviors and attitudes, better mental health and well-being, and equalize economic opportunities and gender inequalities for women. We are also involved in voluntary service. We focus on building stronger communities by engaging young people to participate in local projects and cooperation to help ensure social inclusion, increase self-confidence, self-esteem, and enhance mutual understanding. One of our most important projects is "Disability via Art." This project aims to create a dedicated space where people with disabilities and seniors can actively participate in artistic workshops, breaking down societal barriers and promoting mutual growth through the transformative power of art. People with disabilities and seniors often face isolation, and their access to artistic expression and communal engagement is limited. This project seeks to address these challenges by providing an inclusive environment that encourages creative expression and social interaction. Overcoming preconceived notions about the abilities of individuals with disabilities is a key challenge, and the project aims to change perceptions through meaningful engagement. This year, we have also focused on the elderly. We have organized support groups, activities, and excursions for them to alleviate loneliness, poverty, and social exclusion. We realized how important it is because nobody wants to be alone, especially in their old age. By incorporating seniors into the art-centric initiative alongside individuals with disabilities, the project strives to boost seniors' sense of empowerment and involvement. Through artistic expression, seniors can discover a revitalized sense of purpose and connection, enriching their lives with meaningful experiences. To address the challenges at hand, we created a dedicated space that accommodates the unique needs of people with disabilities and seniors. This space serves as a hub for artistic workshops, fostering creativity, self-expression, and social interaction. This initiative, known as the "To The Future Disability via Art" project, is designed to address the issues of isolation and inactivity that often accompany these conditions. The core of the project involves conducting workshops tailored to the needs and interests of individuals with disabilities and the elderly. The aim is to create an inclusive environment that encourages active participation and combats the tendency for these individuals to stay at home, feeling excluded from broader social activities. In summary, the mission of the To The Future Foundation is to create a more inclusive and equitable society by supporting and empowering individuals at risk of social exclusion. We aim to foster social integration, promote lifelong education, and enhance the overall well-being of these individuals. By building stronger communities and encouraging positive relationships, we strive to create a future where everyone feels valued and included.
