International Youth Center Inspires Ruse at the “Youth TOGETHER” Festival
For the third consecutive year, “Svoboda” (Freedom) Square became the beating heart of youth energy, creativity, and shared emotions in Ruse. The “Youth TOGETHER” („МладиТЕ заедно“) festival, organized by the Youth Parliament at the Municipal Youth Center, once again brought together hundreds of young people, residents, and guests in front of the stage near the Court Palace for an unforgettable evening.
As an organization that actively supports the personal development and social inclusion of young people, the International Youth Center was a key participant in the youth organizations and initiatives exhibition that kicked off the event.
Our booth turned into a hub of smiles and inspiration. The International Youth Center team challenged visitors to identify their personal superpower through specially designed signs featuring positive affirmations.
Dozens of young people joined our photo campaign, choosing the message that resonated most with their identity and values.
The photos with the affirmations not only captured wonderful moments but also reminded everyone that change begins with our own mindset.
The festival offered an incredibly diverse program – from the traditional rhythms of the “Zora” Folklore Dance Studio and a massive chain dance (horoteka), to modern dance routines by the “Extreme” Majorette Troupe, “Impuls” Dance Studio, and guests “Millenium Art” from Giurgiu, Romania. The festive atmosphere was further elevated by the rock tunes of the band “12-ta Linia” and the beautiful voices of Adriana Vitanova, MIA-Maria Stefanova, and Desislava Vasileva.
A particularly meaningful moment of the evening was a charity initiative in support of the Alexander Rusev Foundation, which was met with great empathy and generosity from the crowd. The culmination of the festival was marked by the high-octane energy of popular artists V:RGO and Emil TRF, who electrified the audience under the open sky.
It was an honor and a pleasure for the International Youth Center to be part of this shared space for creativity and positivity. We extend our gratitude to the organizers and to all the young people who stopped by our booth to share their amazing energy with us!
