About Municipal Youth Council – Shumen:


"We heeded the call of the authorities and the #StayHome campaign and, given the impossibility of organizing outdoor events, we decided to create educational and engaging content in several areas: informal learning, sports, dance and various "household"activities.

We organized a series of webinars "21st Century Skills" in the field of non-formal education.

3."Fake news and media culture" guest lecturer – Venelin Dobrev (cofounder of Uspelite.bg) - https://www.facebook.com/events/233207897924471/ /
