Since the beginning of the year we started a new project: a series of public Google Hangouts, called TALKS AT THE GARDEN. We present ordinary people, engaged with socially significant activities in various domains: social activisism, creativity, self-organized initiatives, and so on.
Here are the first three "Talks at The Garden":
#1 - There Will Be Once Upon a Time: What is the Future of Storytelling?
Conversation with the authors & publishers +Zornitsa Hristova and +Nikola Raykov. Zornitsa created a great game for development of children's storytelling skills. Nikola created an intriguing game-book for kids.
#2 - Lost in the Narrative, Found in Internet
Conversation with +Ivailo Tarpanov (administrator of TVseriesBG.com - a site which initiate a competition for a short story), +Dimitar Chakarov (writer, whose short story Bar Desire won the competition), and +Kiril Totev (a film director, whose studio will make a movie, based on Bar Desire). The amazing thing is that their budget is 300 (three hundred!) Euro.
#3 - Making good!
Conversation with +Alexander Makedonski from Moga, a small NGO from a small town. With a few money and a lot of volunteer work, the achievements of the guys from Moga became nationally popular via the buildboards of Coca-Cola.
We plan a lot of new public hangouts in Bulgarian. We hope that our hangouts will contribute for the development of a more creative and socially sustainable public environment in the Bulgarian society.
