Nearly 100 people joined the first event in the “Direction: Future!” campaign in Gorna Oryahovitsa. The initiative brought together children, young people, parents and older participants around physical activity, sport, nature, volunteering and health awareness.
Participants set off from the municipal building along pre-set routes to Bozhur Hut. The programme included a hike, cycling and cross-country races, demonstrations and information activities.
The Rakhovets volunteer unit, the fire service, Bulgarian Youth Red Cross volunteers, representatives of the Veliko Tarnovo Regional Health Inspectorate, Kamaka Tourist Association and Brown Team sports club took part. The event was organised by the Preventsiya Youth Volunteer Club with support from Gorna Oryahovitsa Municipality and partner organisations.
Vicho Grancharov Secondary School received the cup for the school with the most participants. The campaign will continue with two more events on 16 and 22 October, with organisers to announce further details later.
