Summary of project results
The project addressed the need to bridge the gap between the NGOs in the city of Stara Zagora and the citizens. It aimed at bridging the gap between the citizens’ expectations and the NGOs’ goals by actively involving the public in the NGO activities. The detailed survey of NGOs carried under the project Selfie 2015 turned out to be the first survey carried out at one venue only in the last years. The implemented project helped not only the local community but also all NGOs including the nationally represented ones. Selfie 2015 helped define the place of NGOs in public life in general. The project helped evaluate the results achieved and, retrospectively, the gaps that the civil society, represented by NGOs, has not managed to fill in. The main beneficiaries of Selfie 2015 became the organizations in Stara Zagora District registered under the Non-Profit Legal Entities Act. The survey did not include associations, representatives of sport clubs and school trustee boards.
