Humanitarian projects

Karis Tour has been a member of the Confiance-Bulgarie association since 2009, supporting all humanitarian and cultural tourism projects between the two countries.

The French association CONFIANCE-BULGARIE was created in 1990 to set up humanitarian projects with Bulgaria. Exchanges continue and have expanded to include educational, cultural, sports, agricultural and economic projects. In 2010 the Comité de Jumelage between the French town of LAVAL and the Bulgarian town of LOVETCH was created with the aim of developing relations between the two towns.

Since 1990, numerous exchanges have been established between the two cities. Some have lasted for more than 12 years:

MFR Pignerie LAVAL and LOVETCH exchange: since 2008

Lycée Don Bosco MAYENNE and LOVETCH exchange: since 2008

Center de Formation pour Apprentis LAVAL and LOVETCH exchange: since 2015

Lycée Robert Buron LAVAL and LOVETCH exchange: since 2013

MFR Bressuire exchange in 2013

Trip to Bulgaria: 1996, 2013, 2017, 2019

For the organization of the following trips between France and Bulgaria, Karis tour managed the plane tickets, bus, accommodation and food. As well as cultural and tourist visits with introduction to Bulgarian cuisine, language, traditions and dance.

At the same time, Karis Tour helped to organize and set up the courses in the host institutions, in cooperation with the association Confiance, the teachers and the Lovech Municipality.
