as active participants in the process for reforming of the disability policies we are genuinely surprised and deeply saddened by the hasty acceptance of the resignation submitted by Minister Biser Petkov yesterday.
A joint conference of the European Disability Forum, the European Network for Independent Living and the Center for Independent Living in Sofia “Investments Independent Living” was held on 8th of June in Sofia.
On the occasion of the European Day for Independent Living of People with Disabilities, this year we decided to take a virtual action – we invited our Facebook friends to put a picture of a black T-shirt labeled “The system kills them” on their profile picture. Our invitation was to all who agree that in Bulgaria social policy does not in any way improve the lives of people with disabilities, on the contrary – it leads them to think about euthanasia, to mothers dreaming to die after their children.
From September
24th to September 28th, a series of events took place in Brussels, the motto of
which was “Independent Living – A Voice for All”. The reason for the
gathering of disabled people and their followers from all over Europe was the
Freedom Drive.
On September 16th, 2017, together with our friends and hosts from Bread House – Sofia and other friends from the neighborhood, we gathered to knead bread.
Today, at 11:30 am, at the National Assembly building, the auction of our Butterfly Wheelchairs, with the help of the Committee on Interaction with Non-Governmental Organizations and Citizens’ Complaints, which were prepared for the action by the Center for May 5, International Independence Day, was held together with people with disabilities.
Well, friends, our exhibition is starting its travel again. This time our idea of “open doors” responded to one of the most well-known and famous places in Sofia, namely the National Academy of Theater and Film Arts – “NATFIZ”, where the photos exhibition is already positioned and can be seen by the end of June. The doors of Building B of NATFIZ, located at 20 Stefan Karadja Street, are open to everybody who would like to see our photos and get acquainted with the message of the exhibition.
On the occasion of May 5th –
European Day for the Independent Living of People with Disabilities, we
presented the art installation “Butterfly Wings of Independent
Living” in the South Park.
Regardless of the geography, February 14th brings a message of love, fun and joy from life. It was on this day that a wonderful tradition arose – giving out free hugs. Everyone deserves to receive a free hug, no matter who gives it – a man or a woman, known or unknown, Bulgarian or foreigner, a person with or without disabilities.
On July 29, 2016, an agreement was concluded between the Center for Independent Living and the Municipality of Lukovit, which initiated a cooperation between the local government and our organization. We hope that this cooperation will succeed in introducing new policies in local governance with regard to social policies and, later on, as a model for the whole country. The agreement is valid for 2 years, the time remaining from the project implemented by the Center for Independent Living in Lukovit under the name “LSD – Learning for Social Development” or in other words – Learning for Social Development.
You can get acquainted with the project here, where you will also find the agreement between the Municipality of Lukovit and the Center for Independent Living and much other information about its activities.
