Спомняте ли си националната кампания”Да бъдеш баща“, която направи невероятно видео? Това е национална кампания за по-активно включване на бащите в живота на децата. Бащата и майката са партньори в грижите за детето, затова е важно и двамата родители да участват активно в живота на децата. През изминалата година нашето Сдружение 365 взе участие в “Седмицата на бащата” с една страхотна инициатива “Тур за деца и бащи”. Тази година специално за Деня на бащата сме подготвили същата изненада. Времето през юни е доста по-приятно и предразполагащо към опознавателни разходки 🙂 И така: Кога? На 21ви юни (неделя) от 11:00 часа. Къде? Пред Съдебната палата в град София Как? Като запишете вас и вашето дете предварително на info@365association.org. Местата са ограничени. Първите 25 записали се ще получат потвърждение 🙂 Кой? Поканени са всички бащи и деца. Турът ще се проведе на български език. Ще бъде с продължителност около час и половина и е подходящ за деца от 7 до 14 годишна възраст.

Recently, our small fatherland became preoccupied with the creation of the new brand and logo of Bulgarian tourism, that’s why our friend Andrey from Tourist Sites of Bulgaria & Andrey-andreev.com decided to take a quick peek into the world of logos. He started with our neighbors. Here’s the original post in Bulgarian. We publish the images, videos together with his commentary: Bulgaria: Discover & Share Click to see the rest of the photos Turkey: “Since I’m not actually a designer, I will only comment on what I know. The red thingy in the logo symbolizes Turkish tulips. The tulip is the national flower not only of the Dutch, but also of the Turks. After all, it is through Turkey that tulips arrived in Europe in the first place.  I suppose some nations find it hard to imagine a country named after a holiday meal, but at least we, Bulgarians, cannot mistake a bird for a state. The slogan of the Turkish logo is “WELCOMES YOU”, and my personal experience is that […]

During our tour with the Youth Pharmacists Assembly in early November, we had the amazing opportunity to take some awesome birdview pictures of Autumn Sofia – with the kind cooperation of Unicredit Bulbank. Apart from Sofia’s landmarks, a typical birdview of Sofia is represented on the two pictures below – a mixture between temples (the tower of the Catholic Cathedral), spread reddish or brownish roofs, factory chimneys and Communist blocks of flats 🙂  

The International Plovdiv Airport services the second largest city in Bulgaria. The airport is situated 15 minutes away by car from the city center of Plovdiv. Plovdiv Airport is specialized in servicing charter tourist flights from Moscow, Belfast and Dublin for the Bulgarian alpine resorts during the winter season, from December to April. In this period, Plovdiv airport works intensively, servicing mainly tourists heading towards the ski resorts Bansko, Pamporovo and Borovetz or the spa resorts Velingrad and Hisaria.
