АМИ АКО…

As part of the European Week for Waste Reduction 2026, Via Humanitas is organising “АМИ АКО…?” (“What If…?”), a community initiative in Dobrich. It will include a two-day public event on 21–22 November and additional activities with local schools during the campaign week. 

The programme will give reusable items and materials a new purpose. Visitors will be able to exchange clothes, toys and accessories, and take part in creative workshops using materials that might otherwise be thrown away. 

With the help of volunteers and local craftspeople, we plan to use reclaimed wooden materials to make simple outdoor shelters for stray cats and dogs. We will look for suitable places in Dobrich where the shelters can be placed. 

In cooperation with the Art Gallery in Dobrich, school classes will create collages from old newspapers and magazines, exploring how used paper can become new artwork. The Regional Library “Dora Gabe” will be involved in a children’s book activity: visitors can exchange books, leave a message for the next reader, and donate children’s books to the library. 

The initiative will also include educational games, children’s animation and activities with local partners. Through reuse, creativity and community participation, “АМИ АКО…?” aims to reduce waste and encourage people in Dobrich to take practical environmental action together.
