Pazardzhik Municipality has secured funding of 383,406.96 euros for the implementation of the project "Pazardzhik's Talented Generation" under the 2021–2027 Education Program, approved by the Ministry of Education and Science. The project is aimed at encouraging and developing talented children and students in the municipality, covering 944 participants, of which 482 have a mother tongue other than Bulgarian. Its main goal is to provide sustainable support for developing young people's potential and stimulate achieving higher educational outcomes.

As part of the initiative, which will be implemented over the next two academic years, a series of activities have been planned, united under the direction "Support for the Development and Expression of Children's and Students' Talents at the Local Level."

The project includes:

• 21 forms of training – schools, studios, workshops, clubs, STEM clubs, master classes, and academies;
• 20 events with competitive and contest-based character, encouraging participation in olympiads and showcases at the local level;
• participation in competitions and public showcases in various fields;
• scholarships and material awards for the best-performing students;
• a final event "Talent Parade," which will recognize the most successful participants and promote their achievements to the public.

The activities will cover a wide range of areas – science and technology (STEM), arts, culture, sports, and foreign languages, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to develop their skills and interests.

The implementation of the project is the result of joint efforts by the municipality's team and education experts. Special contribution has been made by Dr. Vesela Todorova – Director of the Directorate "Education and Culture," as well as the municipality's partners who participated in the preparation and defense of the project proposal.

By executing the project, Pazardzhik Municipality reinforces its policy of investing in education, equal access to opportunities, and the development of young people as a key factor for the sustainable future of the local community.
