Our youth worker Donka Hristova, together with our volunteer Victoria Dimova, took part in the first "National Presentation Championship" in the village of Sokolitsa, Karlovo region. It was organized by the Stara Zagora International Youth Center.
A total of 40 representatives of the eight youth centers in the country participated in the event - Stara Zagora, Gabrovo, Plovdiv, Vratsa, Dobrich, Pernik, Burgas, and Montana. The format of this youth camp provided an opportunity for young people from all over the country to demonstrate their presentation and public speaking skills, and a jury assessed their abilities. During the championship, trainers Mincho Nikolov, Nikol Parvanova and Kadrin Hasanov held master classes, with which the young people upgraded their knowledge in the field of communication and presentation techniques. "All participants in the National Presentation Championship had prepared and presented extremely interesting and current topics. Our goal is for the format to become annual," shared Monika Todorova, educational mediator at the International Youth Center in Stara Zagora.
Victoria Dimova, a volunteer at Gabrovo YC, showed a presentation on Bulgarian folklore. She was ranked fourth and received the book Present Like Steve Jobs. Donka Hristova, a youth worker at the center, presented the story of the Carnival, was ranked third and received a board game as a prize.
The few days were full of emotions and brave presenters. Young people presented themselves, their beliefs, hobbies and work. We are grateful to IYC Stara Zagora for this experience!
