A Celebration of Spirit and Creativity in Burgas
The awards ceremony for young participants at the 19th District Conference of Rotary District 2482 was filled with excitement and powerful messages. The forum, which turned into a true celebration of young people, was opened by Governor Plamen Tsvetkov and attended by Diana Savateva on behalf of the municipality.
Art has the power to change: freedom is a personal choice, and aggression can be overcome through conversation and creativity.
The Power of Choice: "Choose Freedom!"
The focus of the conference was the "Choose Freedom!" 2025–2026 competition. The essay topic "The moment before I explode – the choice" made a particularly strong impact, provoking students to analyze self-control and breaking the cycle of violence.
