Youth centre - Razgrad

With over EUR 32 million, the Recovery and Resilience Facility supports the establishment of 21 youth centres in Bulgaria, of which 10 located in district centres, 10 in non-district centres and one national focus centre. 19,500 young people are expected to take part in the activities of the youth centres by June 2026.

The project "Together and more successful with the Razgrad Youth Center" is funded with BGN 4.2 million from the RRP.

The center will meet the need of young people from Razgrad municipality for access to a space dedicated to them, in which they have the opportunity to develop personally, culturally and socially. Аctivities will be planned and carried out according to the wishes of the youth and their identified needs. The main activity in the center is its physical construction, equipment and furnishings.

Within the framework of the project, activities are foreseen to identify young people in a vulnerable situation, with an emphasis on young people from the Roma community, motivating them to actively participate in the work of the center and in the processes in the local community. Trainings will be held to increase the capacity of young people in the field of digital literacy, foreign language training, civic education, professional qualification, etc. For the normal functioning of the youth center a team of 11 people - mediators, youth workers, support and management staff - is planned for the implementation of the activities. 

A team of experts is planned to support the implementation team in its work with the youth, and also to provide individual support to the youth in the MC on issues and problems of a different nature. An important part of the work is the interaction with representatives of local authorities, institutions and other organizations. This interaction is on three levels - Cooperation with local institutions and stakeholders, cooperation with other MCs at the national level and international exchange of experience and practices with similar organizations from EU member states. The MC will establish contacts with local businesses and entrepreneurs in order to create good conditions for the realization of the trained young people on the labour market.

The project is expected to be completed by 30 June 2026.
