Bulgarian Society Netherlands · Est. November 2022
The complete history of BGSNL - four mandates, nine organisations, and every event from a seven-euro dinner carried by cargo bike to a career evening held in Sofia.
By the numbers
The founding board · November 2022
The first board of Bulgarian Society Groningen - before there was a network, an umbrella, or a second city. Everything on this page descends from this room.
Portraits to be added
The family tree
Each thread is a city, starting the month it was founded. Every mark is something that happened there; the gold marks are the turning points, and the horizontal stitches are events two or more cities ran together. Hover any mark to read it.
The chronicle
Four mandates, start to finish. Filter by city, or search for a name, a venue, a partner, a party. The highlighted moments are the ones that changed something.
The names
The chitalishte in Budapest carves its founders into stone. This is the facade - every board and committee on record. The gold ones came first in their city.
And every committee member, volunteer, DJ, cook, designer, photographer and member since. The full tree is the point - if a name belongs here and is missing, this history is still being written.
Mandate five and beyond
From a doorway conversation that ran to half past three in the morning, to a network of eight cities that walks its members all the way home to Sofia. Unite. Welcome. Preserve. Present.
