MINDBLOOM is a European project focused on strengthening the participation, well-being, and inclusion of children and young people, with a special focus on those in vulnerable situations, including unaccompanied minors.

The project brings together partners from across Europe to create safe, supportive, and empowering environments where children can express themselves, build confidence, and actively participate in decisions that affect their lives.

Through a combination of training, peer-led activities, and community engagement, MINDBLOOM promotes democratic values, mental well-being, and child protection, while ensuring that children’s voices are heard and taken seriously.

What we do

Within MINDBLOOM, RE-ACT works directly with children, young people, and local communities in Bulgaria to:

• Create safe spaces where young people can meet, share, and feel supported
• Facilitate peer-led activities that encourage participation and self-expression
• Organise workshops and training sessions on topics such as mental health, inclusion, and rights
• Support children in developing confidence, skills, and a sense of belonging
• Engage local stakeholders to build more inclusive and child-friendly environments

Our approach is based on trust, participation, and real engagement — not just consultation, but meaningful involvement.

Why it matters

Many children, especially those without stable support systems, face barriers to participation, inclusion, and well-being. They are often excluded from decisions that directly affect them.

MINDBLOOM addresses this by:

• Giving children a voice and space to be heard
• Supporting their mental and emotional well-being
• Promoting inclusive communities
• Strengthening connections between young people and institutions

We believe that participation is not a privilege, but a right — and that every child should have the opportunity to be involved.
