A mountainous country of seven million people located in the heart of the Balkan Peninsula, Bulgaria boasts a rich archaeological heritage and vibrant artistic culture, including its unique folk music and dance traditions as well as contemporary literary and performance practices. Thanks to its striking natural landscape, rich agricultural roots, and four-season climate, Bulgaria is an increasingly popular destination for outdoor and culinary tourism.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>Bulgaria also has a strong ICT and start-up sector, based primarily in Sofia, and some Bulgarian companies have started receiving international recognition for their innovations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bulgaria has a relatively homogenous majority population of Slavic-speakers who traditionally identify as Orthodox Christian; however, the country is also home to Turkish and Roma communities and has a sizeable Muslim population (more than 10%). While Bulgarians are known for their warm hospitality, some communities may not have extensive experience interacting with foreigners.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>Younger Bulgarians often have solid levels of English-language competence thanks to access to digital and online resources, while older generations, who had limited access to English instruction under communism, may have studied Russian, German or French instead.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the fall of communism in 1989, Bulgaria has been a parliamentary democracy, joining the EU in 2007. Although Bulgaria has one of the lowest standards of living in the EU and struggles with challenges such as emigration\/brain-drain and rule-of-law issues, the country has nevertheless generally been politically and economically stable. All applicants are urged to consult the most recent <\/span>State Department Country Report on Human Rights Practices<\/span><\/a>,\u202f<\/span>which offers the most exhaustive and up-to-date description of political, social and cultural trends in Bulgaria.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I would absolutely recommend Bulgaria as a destination for your academic advancement on an exchange program. I can see so much hope and excitement for building a better Bulgaria, to keep the young and talented people here. There is also an open mind for people, for new ideas, for finding out what is working well in the US, what is working well in Bulgaria and how we can cooperate.<\/p>\n

“I am now interacting with colleagues from Bulgaria on a daily basis and if it hadn’t been for the Fulbright Program, I would never have met these people. The contacts we have built are indeed exciting; that is the main benefit for me, as well as the Fulbright attitude, that this is a cooperation and building of long-term relationships.”<\/p>\n

“The most important reason why I chose Bulgaria was that Fulbright Bulgaria Commission lays a focus on establishing speech and debate clubs and developing local communities. This is something that instantly appealed to me, because in high-school I was taking part in such a club and that was one of my favorite activities.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
