The Institute for Creative Civil Strategies — ICCS mission is to assist the successful personal development, social integration and professional realization of young people who work with, developing their creativity as a model for active participation in the civil, social and cultural dimensions of society and promoting the European youth and lifelong learning policies.
According to nowadays educational tendencies we believe the successful youth personal and proffesional development should be build on two major pillars - the creativity and sustainability. So we aim to increase youth cultural participation implementing projects that stimulate youth's creativity, sustainability and employability encouraging the young people crieative entrepreneurship.
Оur team provides the student communities informational support to assist with development opportunities such as: national and international academic and non-academic scholarships, internship programs, non-formal education projects, and volunteering opportunities. ICCS involves university students in international trainings, youth initiatives and intercultural exchanges which serve to extend their understanding of European Citizenship and to critically develop their sense of European identity.
Institute for Creative Civil Strategies works also as EVS sending organisation actively searching for European voluntary service placements abroad for Bulgarian EVS candidate volunteers. Currently we have two volunteers undertaking their placements in Slovenia and Hungary.
The ICCS’s host EVS project „Art Reporters Without Borders“ seeks to enhance the creativity of young people in Arts, New media & communication. It promotes a concept for ‘youth access to culture’ that goes beyond accessing cultural products, attending spaces and receiving information, but about a first-hand experience empowering the EVS volunteers personal development & employment. Our two EVS volunteers began their year-long project ‘2014
The short term grupe host EVS Project "YOUNG SUSTAINOPRENEURS: Active Citizenship through Wind and Sunshine" project aims to raise awareness on sustainable living and other environmental subject involving young volunteers in the eco-building activities of the building of small youth educational center. The project will be implemented in the spring of 2015 with the help of 16 EVS volunteers from : Belgium, Croatia Great Britain, and Spain.
ICCS can be really helpful for the ALF network in Bulgaria creating or managing various visibility channels in the social media – weblogs, social media fan pages, social media work groups as well as providing information through the already existing channels and mailing lists.
ICCS can contribute to the Bulgarian ALF Network because our team is made up of dedicated members that are motivated to spread and receive information. We are actively looking for collaboration in the field of youth volunteering, non-formal education and access to culture and information and be as involved with any projects as we can.
At least but not last our team can contribute with the experience and expertise of every member. (For example creating and implementing informational campaigns, surveys and other research activities).
Joining the ALF Network at firs place will encourage ICCS’s future thematic cooperation and the process of exchanging good practices and inspiring ideas.
ICCS share similar ideologies to ALF and becoming a member would increase the capacity of our organization but also give us a chance to find out more information and share any information that could be of help for the youngsters we work with as well as with a wider audience.
We already have Mediterranean project partners but we would be very glad to extend our partnership and start new fruitful collaboration in the field of arts, culture, cultural & environmental heritage protection, youth information & new media, youth entrepreneurship, environmental, human rights and civic education issues.
In 2011 the president of ICCS took part in SALTO Euromed TC for Youth Workers developed in collaboration with the Bulgarian National Agency. This training developed in pragmatic way her academic background in the field of intercultural dialogue between Mediterranean cultures and societies (Bulgarian-Italian Master degree in “Anthropological studies of Mediterranean region and the Balkans”). Following this interest, the last month two our youth workers took part in Youth workers TC with partners from the MEDA region dedicated on collaboration in the field of EVS.
