ENGLISH VERSION:
=========================================
On the 10th of May 2010 "Za Zemiata" opened an info-centre in Sofia, Bulgaria, as a part of the project "Creating Coherence on Trade and Development", with the financial support from EC. The opening attracted a diverse group of people - students, environmental and human rights activists or just local residents who wanted to have some fun. The aims of the centre had been presented in a provocative and interesting way - with fire show, music and reading of poetry.
The main idea behind it is to create an open space for public debate on issues of global trade and sustainable development, as well as the social and environmental concerns usually people tend to associate with those topics. Additionally, Za Zemiata will use the space to set up an alternative trade centre, thus this would provide the society with a possibility not only to learn about trade policies' potentials to achieve development goals, but also a way to participate in a more hands-on approach on development.
Za Zemiata had used the centre for awareness raising events and capacity-building activities (such as training seminars) on EU's trade and development policies and the challenges they face, alternatives to consumption and production patterns and the potentialities of trade as an instrument to achieve UN's Millennium Development Goals. Apart from those the centre served as a meeting space for a variety of CSO's It has also been used by Za Zemiata's volunteers, who had organised many talks and debates, film screenings, poetry readings, exhibitions and all kinds of other public events. This helps to keep the place alive and one of the first civil society centres of its kind in Bulgaria.
