Different sports, art, musical, fashion workshops, theatre performances and other events organized by young people help them to achieve many competences according to non-formal educational methods.

Participation in European Voluntary Service (EVS) projects helps to achieve one of the main goals of establishing the Starry Start of Talents Foundation, namely, the development and promotion of volunteering among the young people in Bulgaria.

The European Voluntary Service contributes to the personal and the professional development of young people. It broadens the understanding and enhances the perception of belonging to the European community, as well as the feelings of equality between persons regardless of their religion, race and social background.

Our organization, in partnership with Youth Media Group, created STARTtv -https://starttv.bg /online televison/ which commences in the beginning of May 2020. It has all the licenses issued in conformity with the Bulgarian legislation.

Our concept is to establish virtual studios in different countries aiming to reflect the life and initiatives of young people in these countries. A TV host is going to contact young people on Zoom or another online platform in order to interview them on topics and questions preliminarily prepared. These interviews are recorded and then send to the headquarter in Bulgaria for technical editing. Consequently, these files are brodcasted. These programmes are available all over the world.
