I am the project, which will give Gabrovo a Youth Center for young people aged 15 to 29. It will be beautiful and modern. It will be housed in the building of the former Summer Theater, which will be completely rebuilt, furnished and equipped, with a reconstructed amphitheater and its facilities. A new building will be built next to it, which will accommodate 35 people - guests and partners of the Youth Center. The outdoor spaces will be landscaped and landscaped, and transport and pedestrian access will be improved.

I am the project, through which youth spaces will be created in the renovated building in four directions:

Youth Leadership Area - an open area with a cafe and shared workspace with access to computers and printers/plotters, a library, a sound library, a multi-purpose room with multimedia and equipment for large public events and spaces for training, debates, games, culture, creative activities and promoting entrepreneurship.

Department for culture, ecology and creative activities with a recording studio, a studio for production and projection of films, an area with an exhibition space, a hall for dances and rehearsals with sound and lighting equipment.

Direction for sports and physical activity, where conditions will be created for various sports activities.

A direction for health and well-being, where outdoor conditions will be created for organic gardening, growing fruits, vegetables and plants.

The new Youth Center will be an attraction for young people between the ages of 15 and 29; students at risk of dropping out or dropped out of the education system; at-risk youth living in small and remote settlements or in economically less developed areas. They will be staffed by youth workers and educational mediators trained in accordance with national youth work standards. The new center will become a meeting place with other youth center employees, parents, teachers, community representatives. All together will ensure that young people recognize the Youth Center - Gabrovo as their place for development and support.

I am the project, through which the Norwegian experience in youth policies will be studied, youth initiatives, festivals, happenings, parties and what not will be implemented. Because young people are the future of Gabrovo and they deserve their territory and space.

I am the project, with which the beginning will be set, of everything that is yet to happen and that will be talked about for a long time and constantly...
