site.btaCommunity Centres Remain Vital Cultural Hubs Despite Challenges, Svishtov Municipality Cultural Heritage Directorate Head Says
Despite the problems they face today, community centres continue to be active institutions and even major cultural centres in many settlements, despite history also remembering more difficult times in which they had to survive, Rosen Marinov, Director of the Culture and Cultural Heritage Directorate of Svishtov Municipality, said here Friday. He participated in the presentation of the new issue of BTA's LIK magazine.
"We must ensure that the community centre has a brighter future and broad horizons for development that are adaptable to the rapidly changing modern world. This depends on us," he added. "I welcome BTA's idea that in the new issue of LIK magazine, reference is made not only to history, but also to the present and future of community centres. Because while we cannot change history, we can influence the present and outline different paths for the future development of the community centre," Marinov said.
The new issue of LIK, the BTA magazine for literature, culture and art, is dedicated to the chitalishte community centers. Titled "Chitalishta: Past and Future", it marks the 170th anniversary of the first Bulgarian chitalishte, founded on January 30, 1856, in the northern town of Svishtov. Drawing on highlights from BTA’s rich archive, the magazine explores the history and future of these cultural institutions, often described as a uniquely Bulgarian phenomenon.
