🎪Our circus arts activities with MiniArt continue to inspire!✨

We’re thrilled to see our initiative featured by IOM Bulgaria, who shared about the joyful and inclusive atmosphere created at the Safe Zone in Ovcha Kupel.

This program, led by UNHCR Bulgaria in collaboration with MiniArt, brings creativity, connection, and community to young people and families.

🎨 Creative Healing in Action!💚

We’re excited to share that Mini Art Foundation, with the support of UNHCR, recently held full-day Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) sessions in RRC Ovcha Kupel, RRC Voenna Rampa and RRC Harmanli.
