Project description

Project Aim

"My Enlighteners" is a socially responsible initiative of FANTASTICO GROUP, which aims to direct public attention to the enormous potential of Bulgarians and education, as a supreme value and opportunity for development. As part of the initiative, the company presents an exclusive exhibition with the participation of some of the most prominent Bulgarian artists, researchers, teachers, athletes, and visionaries who inspire people with their achievements. My Revival Leaders initiative is held every year on the occasion of the Day of National Enlighteners, and an essential part of it is the provision of funding for projects in education and culture. In 2023, the Natural Sciences Olympic Teams Association was a partner and beneficiary of the initiative.

Project Target Group

The project is aimed at the general public, particularly all young people.The exhibition "My Enlighteners" tells the stories of prominent Bulgarians whose success extends beyond the country's borders.These contemporary revival leaders share the people from whom they drew knowledge and who gave them the confidence that nothing is impossible. The project is also aimed at representatives of educational and cultural institutions that can successfully implement projects financed by FANTASTICO GROUP

Project Duration

The "My Enlighteners" initiative was launched in 2021. It is an important part of the company's socially responsible policy, which has been supporting projects in the field of culture and education for years (for example, FANTASTICO GROUP has been the general sponsor of Rayna Kabaivanska's Master Class for 12 years). Within the framework of the first three editions of My Revival Leaders, FANTASTICO GROUP donates BGN 150,000 to support activities and projects in the field of culture and education

Project Activities

In 2023, the "My Enlighteners" exhibition presented students from the 14 natural science Olympic teams and their leaders. The project talks about the success of young people who dream of discoveries and academic achievements, and of the leaders who inspire new heights in science (in 2023 alone, Bulgarian Olympians in natural sciences won over 90 medals from prestigious world tournaments, which included international Olympiads in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, linguistics, geography, computer science and astrophysics, and some European and Balkan tournaments). A special video series talks about the efforts, time for preparation, and emotions during the presentation of Bulgaria and the medals won for our country. The exhibition was located in front of Ivan Vazov National Theatre, on the fence of Lyubomir Pipkov National Music School (Oborishte Street), in the courtyard of New Bulgarian University, in the Central Lobby of Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski, and at Sofia Airport. Information on the project was disseminated by dozens of media on the digital channels of each participant, FANTASTICO GROUP, and the project partners.

Project Results

"My Еnlighteners" project supported the Natural Sciences Olympic Teams Association with BGN 50,000. The funds were used to finance the training of 9 teams, with the extended selections being made among the best 12-16 students in the respective subject, and the training being conducted with the selected national teams, which consist of 4 to 8 people. From 4 to 12 teachers from all over the country prepare them in each subject. The exhibition presented the success of the Olympians in a manner that had never been used before. The example of the Olympians and their leaders reached a huge audience, it is inspiring and it is proof that there are opportunities for high academic achievements and development in Bulgaria. The exhibition is currently presented at the SU "St. Kliment Ohridski".
