An emotional celebration marked the completion of another educational cycle for the students of the Bulgarian Sunday educational institution "Hope", located in the western part of France. On July 6, 2025, a ceremonial event took place in a picturesque garden setting, which united students, pedagogical staff, and the parent community.

The ceremony proceeded under the sign of solemnity and empathy towards the native language and cultural heritage. The children received official certificates that verify their educational progress in learning the Bulgarian language and traditions outside national borders.

The musical program and informal conversations further emphasized the significance of such initiatives for preserving national identity among the young generation of Bulgarian children growing up in a French-speaking environment.
