Foundation For Environmental Education

Established in 1981, the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) is one of the world's largest environmental education organisations, with over 100 member organisations in 81 countries. At the heart of the FEE are our five programmes. Coordinated by the Head Office in Copenhagen and implemented by our members around the world, our programmes aim to bring positive change on a global scale: The internationally recognized Eco-Schools programme engages young people in quality environmental education and meaningful action. Through a seven-step framework, pupils are empowered and motivated to drive change and improve environmental awareness in their school, local community and beyond. Close to 50,000 schools around the world are part of the Eco-Schools programme. Learning about Forests (LEAF) advocates for outdoor learning and hands-on experiences, allowing students to connect with nature and develop a deeper understanding of the natural world. While the LEAF programme started with a focus on tree-based ecosystems, today it includes a diversity of ecosystems to foster skills and knowledge by exposing learners to outdoor experiences. LEAF is implemented in 28 countries. Young Reporters for the Environment (YRE) is an award-winning programme that empowers young people to take an educated stand on environmental issues they feel strongly about and gives them a platform to articulate these issues through the media of writing, photography and video. Over 300,000 students engage in the YRE programme yearly. The iconic Blue Flag programme is one of the world's most recognized eco-tourism awards for beaches, marinas, and tourist boat operators. In order to qualify for the Blue Flag, a series of stringent environmental, educational, safety, and accessibility criteria must be met and maintained. Over 5,000 beaches, marinas and tourism boats are currently awarded. Green Key is a voluntary eco-certification programme. With more than 4,000 certified hotels and other establishments in 60 countries, Green Key is the leading standard for excellence in the field of environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism and hospitality industry. With 40 years of impactful experience in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), FEE's strategic plan - GAIA 20:30 - prioritises climate action across all five programmes to address the urgent threats of climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution. FEE's Environmental Education Principles The member organisations of FEE have agreed upon these principles to guide our work towards excellence in EE/ESD: 1. Ensure that participants are engaged in the learning/teaching process. 2. Encourage participants to make reasonable decisions and actions on real life sustainability issues. 3. Encourage participants to work together actively and involve their communities in collaborative solutions. 4. Support participants to examine their assumptions, knowledge, and experiences, in order to develop critical thinking and to be open to change. 5. Encourage participants to be aware of cultural practices as an integral part of sustainability issues. 6. Encourage participants to share inspirational stories of their achievements, failures, and values, to learn from them and to support each other. 7. Continuously explore, test and share innovative approaches, methodologies, and techniques. 8. Ensuring continuous improvements through monitoring and evaluating are central focus of our programmes. FEE's overall Mission is to engage and empower people through education in collaboration with our members and partners worldwide.

Dare Association

Dare Association - Dare 2 Care Animals is established in 2014 in Bulgaria. Our mission is to help homeless animals, reduce their numbers on the streets of Sofia, Bulgaria and organize activities to inform people about improving animal welfare. We are an NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) and NPO (Non-Profit Organization). We are not funded by any government, ministry, municipality or foreign NGO. All of our activities are based on charity and voluntary work. We rely on donations and volunteering for our activities and we welcome anyone who wants to help animals. We publish veterinary reports and expenses on our page, as well as many of our animal rescue stories. We specialize in cat cases. Street cats in Bulgaria are rapidly increasing and there is no governmental program for reducing their number. For 6 active years, we have rescued, neutered and rehomed over 300 street animals, worked with over 250 volunteers, and conducted numerous public events and initiatives on the topic of animal awareness and education. We have also consulted and advised over 2000 people to not abandon their pets and what to do when they find street animals. We also started an Education program (online and offline) "Dare 2 Change Lives" for giving good examples, better care, and understanding for pets. We reached offline more than 300 kids and grown-ups with information and educational events and training for improving animal welfare in Bulgaria. We regularly publish in social platforms online informative - educational posts about neutering, better pet care and what can be done more to reduce street animals number and improve animal welfare. The main objectives of the Association are: 1. Rescuing, healing, and rehoming street animals. Especially the wounded or abandoned ones which can't survive on their own on the streets. 2. Informing and presenting different opportunities for rescuing animals to the public. 3. Promoting and informing the people of animal rights and animal protection. 4. Organizing charity, informative and adoption events during the year. 5. Providing more care for animals with fewer opportunities and disabilities. Working on their adoption and acceptance in society. 6. Preserving the environment and protecting the animals, promoting the humane treatment of animals on the local and national level. 7. Supporting the compliance with all general moral and ethical norms of the European Union, working on achieving all of its objectives, integrating the different communities by preserving their uniqueness; protecting and promoting global values and cooperation between the different ethnicities and nationalities in the European Union.

Maxim Gorky Community Center 1927 / 1927

The mission of the "Maxim Gorky" community center in the village of Eremia is to support the cultural and social progress of the local community. Through various cultural and social initiatives, the community center aims to enrich the lives of local residents and unite them around common values and interests. Key aspects of the community center's mission include: Cultural Events: The community center plays an active role in organizing diverse cultural events such as concerts, exhibitions, theatrical performances, and literary evenings. These events contribute to the enrichment of the community's cultural life. Library Services: The community center features a library where people can borrow books or enjoy reading in a comfortable environment. This promotes literacy, knowledge sharing, and provides a space for intellectual growth. Cinema: The community center also houses a cinema that, unfortunately, requires restoration. The cinema is envisioned to be a future platform for screening films and fostering film appreciation within the community once restoration is completed. Preservation of National and Cultural Heritage: By conducting traditional events and studying local history and culture, the community center contributes to preserving and transmitting the valuable heritage of the community to future generations. Promotion of Active Citizenship: The community center encourages active participation of local residents in public life, motivating them to engage with societal and political issues and contribute to improving the local environment. Formation of Personality and Values: The community center serves as a space where young people learn about tolerance, respect for diversity, community values, critical thinking, and analytical skills. Thus, the "Maxim Gorky" community center in the village of Eremia becomes a hub for culture and social interaction, offering opportunities for literary engagement, cultural exploration, and community development. The presence of a cinema, though in need of restoration, holds the potential to further enhance the cultural experiences and entertainment options available to the local residents.
