Projects

The work of Communitas in Bulgaria has four major foci: education, culture, healthcare and social activities. In the sphere of education, in 2007 Communitas launched the social-educational programme 1000 stipends. Its primary objective is the creation of conditions for social mobility via education; for overcoming intellectual barriers and the lack of adequate communication environment of bright children throughout the country; and as a consequence, it selects and further on supports the development of talents of exceptionally bright children. The second accent of the Communitas activities is towards incorporation of the Bulgarian culture in the common space of European civilization. The programme includes the publishing of the monthly Christianity and Culture magazine and the Culture monthly. Within the cultural and socio-political line of Communitas activities, the foundation has established a partnership with The Red House - Centre for Culture and Debate in order to complement the mutual efforts of invigorating public political life. In healthcare, Communitas aims at improving the quality of health service, advancing the organization of medical system, medical knowledge and the training of medical doctors in Bulgaria. In 2008 Communitas started the new bilingual medical scientific magazine, the Journal of Clinical Medicine. Within its fourth direction of activities Communitas supports efforts in bringing up new and adequate attitudes towards orphans and institutionalized children in Bulgaria.
