Thanks to the Fund’s financial support for the session titled ‘Young Bulgarians Abroad with a Focus on Bulgarian Folklore’, Rozova Dolina [Rose Valley] School in London completed its project ,‘A Bulgarian Island in the Isles’.
More than 160 children aged between 5 and 16 have studied at the Rozova Dolina School for over 10 years. The Bulgarian school is included in the list of Sunday schools approved and co-financed by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Bulgaria.
The project supported by the Fund was ambitious: it included augmenting the collection of Bulgarian folk costumes; buying materials to decorate the rooms where the children study and create; and setting up a club for weekly classes in Bulgarian folklore.
