About the project:

The project’s primary goal is to empower Bulgaria’s LGBTQ+ community by equipping them with valuable resources to navigate their queer identity and expression. Additionally, it aims to boost mental well-being by facilitating open expression of emotions, thereby improving communication with peers, family, and friends. This objective is pursued through the collective efforts of a diverse leadership team, incorporating community feedback, and strategically reaching out to create a secure and supportive environment. Ultimately, the project strives to alleviate the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals in Bulgaria and enhance their overall quality of life.
