Presentation of the exhibition "St. Kliment Ohridski - pupil and teacher "in Poland
The exhibition was part of the 13th International Scientific Conference of the Cyril and Methodius Cycle in Slavonic Alphabet and Culture, which took place at the Institute for Orthodox Culture in Lublin, Poland.
In his address to the participants and the guests at the conference, Ambassador Emil Yalnazov emphasised the role of St. Kliment in the formation of Bulgarian self-consciousness and spirituality, as well as the fact that he is revered by many peoples in Europe.
Participants in the initiative included lecturers from university centres in Poland, Bulgaria, Moldova and Slovenia.
The exhibition "St. Kliment Ohridski - student and teacher" is a project by the Professor Ivan Dujčev Centre for Slavonic-Byzantine Studies at Sofia University, supported by the State Institute for Culture and included in its Travelling Exhibitions programme.
A special copy in Polish about the exhibition was prepared for the event in Poland, prepared and implemented by the Embassy and the Bulgarian Cultural Institute Warsaw with the assistance of the State Institute for Culture.
In 2016, the project took a leading role in the State Institute for Culture's "Travelling Exhibitions" programme and was successfully presented in Bulgaria, Italy and Serbia.
The opening of the exhibition in Poland and the reviews of it confirmed the interest of the foreign audience in the subject of the life and work of St. Kliment Ohridski, the modern following of the saint and his image in the unification of the Christian peoples in the Balkans.
The exhibition will also be included in the cultural programme of the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the EU in 2018.
