On May 15^th 2016 in the National Sports Academy "Vasil Levski" the Association for Development of Bulgarian sport held a National Youth Meeting "SportIgratsiya." The Institute for Social Integration, presented by Stefan Georgiev, member of the Board, participated in the panel "Best Practices", presenting the project #OUTBOOM.

The innovative initiative addresses the issue of integration through sport, which, as a new tool, aims at reducing social tension and supporting the integrative processes in Bulgaria. The event focused on bringing together young people and those responsible for policies in Bulgaria, who could jointly give suggestions and ideas for integration through sport, culture, and art, which would increase the civil activity of the participating young people and make them sympathetic to the current problems in the European Community. On the other hand, decision-makers at different levels in Bulgaria had the opportunity to discuss possible solutions for integration with their colleagues and the young people.
