Challenge

Bulgaria is still the poorest and country in the EU, a place where culture and art are struggling and are set back. Children from disadvantaged families are often socially isolated and don't have access to any after school activities. This is a cause of low self esteem and absence of social skills which keeps them from developing their talents, expressing their opinions and achieving their goals. The school affects more than a 100 children every year and helps them overcome this problem.

Solution

As of 2018, Dedal includes a library, a large gallery hall, a recording studio, and a sculpture studio. Modern equipment is also available for young artists to use according to their creative requirements completely free of charge. During their regular visits to Dedal, over a 100 children yearly not only develop new skills, but also build lasting friendships with kids and adults from diverse backgrounds which helps them overcome the social isolation.

Long-Term Impact

Since its establishment in 2009, Dedal has expanded significantly in terms of its audience, teaching capacity and facilities. Over 900 children have visited the classes and have received help with education, preparation for college or obtaining a profession. Last but not least, Dedal has become a diver of cultural and social development and has created a supportive community of young adults that come back years after, become part of the team and help develop the school further.
