With this initiative children, youngsters and adults from Bulgarian communities abroad will be able to express their bond with their country, with its past and its future, by writing about or showing everything which instills in them strength and the awareness of being Bulgarian.
Applicants can send videos of up to 3 minutes. The virtual forum of the initiative will, once again, be the official YouTube channel of the Vice-President, as well as her Facebook page.
