NGO House & A HUB - the new innovative spaces for civil society in Sofia

What is NGO House ? An initiative of BCNL with a vision for developing the civil society spirit and community in Sofia. A social enterprise. The initiative has already been running for 2 years and it has been established as the only co- working and capacity building space in the heart of the capital for NGO’s, social entrepreneurs and activists. Provides a safe space for the civil society to work, innovate and support each other. Its team has established experience in event management, organization and communication running already 4 media channels.

What is NGO House?
