The project aim was to promote the process of EU Youth Dialogue on national and local level in Bulgaria. EU Youth Dialogue is a high level and process of representation and inclusion of young people in the desicion making processes in the political institutions on national and european level (The Presidency of the European Council, European Commision, European parliament, The ministries of Youth in EU Member States and ect.). During the project there were realisied more than 15 local meetings with municipalities and young people, two national youth conferences in which we successfuly made recomendations on the youth politics in Bulgaria and EU, consultations with more than 400 young people on the topics important for the future of youth politics which were represented in the European Youth Conferences during the Presidency of the European Council by youth delagates. The coordination was succesful because of the work in the National working group on the EU Youth Dialogue in the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Bulgaria. There I am a President of the working group, in which members are more than 5 ministries and 10 national youth organizations from Bulgaria.

The project "The vote of youth" was realised with partnership between National Youth Forum Bulgaria and the European Parliament. It's aim was to inform and engage young people in Bulgaria to vote in the European elections 2019 through advocacy and informational campaign. As a results the team made a public debate with all the political families running in the elections, youth organizations, young people and the Bureau of the European parliament in Bulgaria. We published toolkit on the topic, called "Young people and political parties". Due to the whole results and conclusions I created a political declaration "Inclusion of young people during elections and the role of political parties".
