Club "Friends of Europe" – Children section was founded as an NGO two years ago in December 2002 but we have existed as part of a network of European Bulgarian clubs since 1990 in Bulgaria. Our organization lobbies for EU policies in Bulgaria and for help with the process of European integration. Most of the members are children and young people, and we have sections in most of the high schools in Varna, the third largest city in Bulgaria. Our scope is to help and enable the process of integration in every aspect in Bulgaria regarding accession to the EU. We also have a children's division (section) as we think that children are very important recipients of all the policies of the EU for the future. In approaching the EU we realize that children need to be protected more and more and need to raise their voice as citizens of the country. Through our teaching process we enhance the role of the child in society and dwell on the education of the rights of every child. We would like to protect the rights of children and help them find their place in society and lobby for their rights. Nowadays, as children need information about the EU structure and policies we are organizing seminars of citizens and child rights according to the EU, CEU laws and conventions.
