The aim of the campaign was to encourage various joint initiatives bringing together people from all generations and to provoke the interest of the society on the theme of solidarity between people. 

During the week around 29 April Tulip Foundation, the National network for Children  and numerous civil organisations around Bulgaria were organising various initiatives that were based and promote solidarity between generations. They all joined the hundreds of organisations members of the European Youth Forum, European Women’s Lobby, AGE Platform Eurochild, European Antipoverty Network, COFACE and many others.          

29 April is marked as a European day of Solidarity between Generations since 2008 with the aim to direct the public attention on the need of change in the policies for elderly people in the EU. Solidarity between generations can play a key role in developing fairer and more sustainable responses to the major economic and social challenges that the EU is facing today. Our society needs to become more inclusive to allow everyone to get involved whatever their age, gender, ethnic origin, skills and ability. Action is also urgently needed to ensure a fairer re-distribution of resources, responsibility and participation and to develop greater cooperation between generations in all social and economic spheres.       

This year 31 organizations from 23 towns and villages from the whole country took part in the campaign. We want to thank to all the participants and media partners - Bulgarian National Radio, Radio Jazz FM and Radio Z-Rock.
