Chocolate in the name of integration

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

A unique exhibition of hand made chocolates opens today in Kazanlak. The Exhibition is entitled “chocolate formula” and is the work of 15 students from two schools PS “Tower” and the National School of Plastic Arts and Design “Acad. Uzunov” Chocolate formula was launched as a joint project in July this year to bring together young people from Roma and Bulgarian origin of Kazanlak, by creating a situation where they each learn more about their different cultures, to overcome prejudices and start building a new dialogue. The authors of the project – Anna Kiriakova and Johannes Tolk found a unique formula for this: chocolate. The idea is that through its different taste and the creation of common candy project participants become ambassadors of change between Roma and non Roma .
