In the period 02.12 – 10.12.2025, the CuBuFo team was in Samsun, Turkey to participate in the project Painting a world without discrimination (2025-1-DE04-KA152-YOU-000297674). For 8 days, together with teams from Turkey, Serbia, Germany, Spain and Ireland, we worked on the topics of discrimination, what manifestations it has, how to recognize it and how to fight it. During the discussions, we got acquainted with the good practices in different countries, as well as the problems that are observed there. The presence of people with disabilities, who joined in with valuable opinions and advice on the topics discussed, was also of great importance.
In addition to the theoretical part and discussions, we also used different forms of art – comics, music, photography, short film, to draw and show how we can live in a world without discrimination.
We returned to Bulgaria loaded with positive emotions from the experience and the moments shared with other colleagues. As well as with many new and fresh ideas for exercises, games and activities with mixed groups of participants, which we can apply in our work.
Special thanks to the hosts from UGARD for the opportunity to participate in the project and for the excellent organization.
