The project you are most proud of
I have several projects which grow and change and I am proud of all of them. In the placemaking realm, this would be _Spot Bulgaria project which I initiated back in 2017 and through which we introduced the concept of placemaking on a national scale in Bulgaria. The project is currently running and growing and developing. I am also very proud of the achievements of MOVE Week – www.moveweek.eu an initiative which I manage since 2012 on the Europen Scale, No Elevators Day – https://no-elevators-day.nowwemove.com/ is also a project I am super fond of, I have the European School Sport day project So, indeed a very tough question and the project is just not one. But let’s say that being part of the development of Placemaking Europe is the project I am very proud of.
