DESCRIPTION

Association for Shared Learning ELA is working with children and young people, helping them find their way in life and/or overcome a difficult stage they are going through.

We work with children from vulnerable groups and refugee children in our office in Sofia, where we provide them with educational support. 3. We raise funds and conduct outdoor children’s camps, where children from different ethnic groups and nationalities get to know themselves and overcome their prejudices towards others in a playful and non-formal way.
