This video illustrates how an ERDF powered long term loan financed the modernisation of the contemporary art centre and library in Burgas, Bulgaria. The renovation of an old German school allowed the neighbourhood to enjoy a modern space for education and cultural activities. The project also involved the digitalisation of publications and archives, as well as the creation of a virtual reality lab for children and young people to participate in creative educational activities.
