"Open Youth" joined to the celebration of International Youth Day, whose motto this year is "Building a better world: a partnership with young people." The event was organized by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Science (MEYS) on August 12, 2012 from 14 to 22 o’clock in the park "Borisovata gradina".

The whole spectrum of alco- and druggoggles, which simulate vision under influence and what the effect is on people’s abilities, were demonstrated at the stand of the association. Other interesting simulations, related to the road risks prevention, were shown, too. Also specially developed weight calculator, which showed everyone, how heavy his/her body is during a car crash with a certain speed (50, 90 or 130 km/h) was presented.

During the event 7 thematic pavilions were built. There MEYS, NCEYPI, Sofia Municipality and several other youth organizations presented their activities and programs in support to the young people in the country. The young people, who visited the International Youth Day, received information about the benefits of participation in the projects.

Young people as well enjoyed the program of young singers, dancers and beatbox performers.
