On 15.05.2024, on the initiative of the “Amalipe” Center, students from all over Bulgaria visited Sofia University “St. Cl. Ohridski”.

Ph.D. Kaloyan Simeonov from the Department of European Studies, Deputy. Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy, as well as representatives of the Student Council.
Over the course of an hour, the active young people learned not only what it takes to become future students of the educational institution, but also why it is important for young people to be civically active.
After the meeting, the young people not only got to know the university environment closely and could see themselves as future students of the institution, but also realized that they, through their right to vote and choose, can change their lives and the world in which they live.
