During the last 4 years in the field of regional activities and non-professional artwork, there was an annual financial support for projects of municipalities, community centres and other non-governmental organisations focusing on activities for children and young people, on forming national consciousness, protecting ethnic identity, Roma integration, tolerance and intercultural communication, active ageing, integration of disabled people, developing creative potential, and promoting cultural diversity.
Furthermore, a variety of projects by regional libraries have been implemented with the Ministry of Culture's financial support, all of which support the process of literary and published heritage development, efforts to encourage reading, as well as events at municipal level.
With its sustainable development programmes and policies, the Ministry of Culture creates real prerequisites for establishing the current and introducing new cultural and educational activities in community centres, reinforcing the library network and supporting Bulgarian literature nationwide and abroad.
The Ministry's priorities are activities aimed at children and young people, intangible cultural heritage protection, non-professional art development, cultural integration of ethnic communities, disabled people, active ageing, equal involvement of women and men in cultural life, etc.
