A big flashmob with the song "Chervona Kalina" at the Ukrainian Festival in Sofia

The "Ukrainian Vulik*" integration and education centre, together with the Metropolitan Municipality and the Embassy of Ukraine, invite everyone who is in Sofia today to a charity Ukrainian Festival in the South Park behind the Man and Earth Museum. 

"We want to give Sofia and its guests a piece of our Ukrainian hearts!" wrote the organizers. One of the exciting events of the festival will be the concert with the participation of Ukrainian children who will sing not only in their native language, but also in Bulgarian. 
And the culmination will occur with a large flash mob - an a cappella performance by all attendees of the song "Chervona Kalina", which has become a symbol of Ukraine. 

During the festival, materials explaining how to enroll Ukrainian children in Bulgarian schools will also be distributed. 

Nearly 40,000 students from Ukraine residing in Bulgaria need education and a social environment.
