The Association for Shared Learning ELA is currently renovating its Green educational centre in the mountain village not far from Sofia, Bulgaria. After many years of work on various national and European projects, we have focused our efforts on creating a Green Education Center in the village of Sturgel in the mountains of Bulgaria where we can continue to support children in their growth by implementing our programs for non-formal education. For these two months, we need enthusiastic young people who don’t mind living in basic conditions in a village, surrounded by nature, to communicate with the elderly and occasionally work with children from vulnerable groups.
