The project is gaining momentum and, as you know, is already in the first phase - a survey among young people about the most interesting tourist places in the cross-border region - the districts of Pernik, Kyustendil and Nišava.

And the first partner meeting on the "Youth Interactive Map" project is already a fact. The AzBuki and AXELS association teams gathered in Nis to organize the upcoming project activities. And have you already marked which places/events/objects you would suggest we include in the interactive map?

This is how it all started in 2018! Slobodan Eftimovski and Petya Dimitrova concluded a partnership agreement AzBuki association from Serbia and AKSELS association from Bulgaria to organize and implement a joint project under the operational program for cross-border cooperation Bulgaria-Serbia. And now this good intention is now a reality.
