The first weekend of July was a special moment for the active members of ESN Bulgaria. In the sunny city of Varna, the elective national assembly of ESN Bulgaria was held under the roof of the University of Economics - Varna. Over 40 participants engaged in inspiring discussions about the future of the network, providing feedback and cherishing the fruitful results from the academic year.

The 58th National Assembly was opened with a speech by the President of ESN Bulgaria, Georgi Yotov, who encouraged the participants to be engaged in the discussions, to ask questions, and create meaningful connections that will inspire positive change within their local communities and beyond. 

Discussions followed on topics such as the Action plan of ESN Bulgaria, the outcomes of the Spring General Assembly in Prague, and the National Training Strategy, a new document outlining the current best practices and timelines of our network, created by the Vice President for Development for 2025/2026, Ivan Markov. 

Nonetheless, the most intriguing time of the day was the presentations by the candidates for the new National Board and Support of ESN Bulgaria for the mandate 2026-2027, during which 6 candidates had the opportunity to introduce their vision and answer questions from the whole National Assembly. The results were announced on Sunday afternoon, and the 6 candidates were successfully elected to represent ESN Bulgaria.

Congratulations to the elected National Board & Support 2026/2027:
