A celebration with balloons, themed decorations, lots of joy and… a slight touch of sadness. This is how the last day of January 2026 for the Class of 2025 of the National Program of the Bulgarian School of Politics “Dimitry Panitza” passed. The stylish celebration was organized by the trainees themselves in a restaurant in Sofia. During the event, those who successfully completed the program received their diplomas.
Challenges, adventures and friendships – with these words the 23rd class of BSoP can summarize the past year of 2025. Forty participants with different professions and from different settlements, with a dose of anxiety, but with a lot of curiosity and expectations, embarked on the path of knowledge, discussions and the exchange of ideas within the framework of the National Program “Governing Skills”.
MPs, mayors and district mayors, municipal councillors, representatives of the state administration, the non-governmental sector and business clashed points of view, sought common solutions and worked both as a team and independently. From strangers at the beginning, today they are already a close-knit community.
And after the end – a continuation. In the spirit of the established tradition of graduates of BSoP, this class will continue their joint work by committing to organizing a charity ball. With the funds raised, Class 2025 will support the cause it chose – help for the children with whom Association “Equilibrium” – Ruse works.
