Course Rationales

The aim is to develop skills for discovering local stories and their involvement into products of cultural and tourist activities. The training meets local residents and communities with visitors and guests in building connections between them through storytelling.

Participants will find links between the local context and the European dimensions of local history. Attention will be paid to the multicultural environment of Plovdiv as a European model of coexistence of communities, languages and historical strata.
