Jazz Workshop for the Kids from Doganovo

Our readers may remember that our last visit to Doganovo was in early spring, when we crafted matrenitsas together with the kids. After the summer break, we understood that the kids need sports shoes for the start of the new school year. So we visited them again to bring the shoes, but we also decided to surprise them with something in addition to that. We invited our partner organization Jazztet Foundation to enlighten the kids a bit about this music genre, which is rather unpopular and unknown to them. Their mission is to make people of all ages aware of what is jazz music and its connections with other music genres. They have a very famous project called “Jazz for Kids”, where they involve children in their music performances and help them learn about jazz by playing together with them. The musicians played a lot of popular songs in jazz versions to which the kids reacted with a lot of enthusiasm. Besides, they had a magic suitcase full of treasures such as small […]

Архитектурни легенди

Тази година в рамките на ONE ARCHITECTURE WEEK съвместно с Едно организираме тематични архитектурни обиколки в София и Пловдив. Разработихме общо три маршрута – един в София и два в Пловдив. Обиколките разкриват архитетурните легенди на двата града, които всеки ден виждаме и просто подминаваме. Ще ти покажем тайните, които се крият зад тяхното минало и настояще. Ще поговорим и за тяхното бъдеще. По потайностите на София и Пловдив ще те разходят гидове от Сдружение 365. В София ще имаш възможност да се запознаеш с Мартин, Стефан и Васил, които ще те разходят из “Изчезващата София”. Турът е вдъхновен от едноименния проект в София. В Пловдив Аделина и Борислав ще разказват за “Капана” и “Тютюневите складове”. Ако вече те запалихме, то можеш да се включиш в:   © Архив 365 Маршрут “Изчезващата София”, София С любезното съдействие на Изчезващата София Кога: 24.09 (сряда) 17:00 – 19:00 часа; 27.09 (събота) 11:00 – 13:00 часа – няма места; 28.09 (неделя) 11:00 – 13:00 часа  – няма места.

The Thracian Community

The Thracians The ancient Greeks used the names Traike (Thraike), Treike (Threike), Trek or Threke to refer to the areas northeast of their own lands on the Balkan Peninsula. The Thracians themselves were originally Indo-European tribes. There are different theories for their origin. Some say that they arrived from the northeast around 1,500 BC and mingled with the existing population in our lands. Others think that the Thracians were always a local people. Herodotus wrote that “[the] Thracians are the second largest ethnos – the first one is India. In different areas the Thracian community is named in various ways. However, the manners and customs of the whole nation are the same everywhere.” At first, the Thracians existed in separate tribes. They did not form real states until the end of the second and the beginning of the first millennium BC. These small states were also mostly tribal at first. Some tribal leaders gathered more power than others and then handed it down their line. The first Thracian state that […]

Baba Marta Workshop in Doganovo

Martenitsa Workshop After the Christmas workshop we did with the children in Doganovo, now it was time to get ready for one of our favorite Bulgarian traditions – Baba Marta (Grandma March). So, on Saturday, 15 February, we went to Doganovo to make lots of pretty martenitsas. These red and white thread adornments in the shape of a bracelet, doll or amulet that people in Bulgaria give to each other on the first day of March. More about the tradition On the first day of March and for a few days afterwards, Bulgarians exchange and wear these white and red adornments. The most traditional form is a set of small dolls called Pizho and Penda. In Bulgarian folklore, the name Baba Marta (Grandma March) refers to a grumpy old lady whose mood swings rapidly. It is a personification of the month of March. The common belief is that by wearing the red and white colors of the martenitsa people ask Baba Marta for mercy. They hope that it will make […]
