General Information

The Association on Refugees and Migrants in Bulgaria (ARM-BG) was established in the year of 2000 as human rights, refugees’ and migrants’ protection network and inter-cultural education and research NGO initiative. ARM-BG is a social innovation and change forum, research and training institute and socio-cultural instrument for exploring, communicating and protecting rights and life space of old and new minorities in Bulgaria, on the Balkans and the Euro-Mediterranean region. ARM-BG is actively involved in research, teaching, artistic and intercultural activities that link the realm of ideas with everyday experience. We work locally, internationally and cross-culturally. Only through thoughtful comparison can we interpret our local reality, render it more comprehensible and develop strategies to address the issues that affect our everyday lives. ARM-BG performs inter-cultural research, training and artistic activities both as a partner within international consortia, as within the scope of its own projects. ARM-BG‘s publications, cultural products, trainings and media events communicate the work of its members to a wider audience locally and internationally.
