🌟 DIGITAL STORY FOR IMPACT – A Meaningful Journey Comes to an End

This month, we will officially conclude the Digital Story for Impact project - a journey that brought together organisations, educators, and changemakers from the Netherlands and Bulgaria with one shared goal: empowering social and sustainable enterprises through digital storytelling.

Over the course of the project, we explored how storytelling can become a powerful tool for visibility, connection, and positive change. Together, we created opportunities for learning, collaboration, creativity, and innovation, while supporting organisations in communicating their impact more effectively and authentically.

💡 Through workshops, collaboration, exchange of ideas, and shared experiences, the project helped strengthen digital competences and inspired new ways of reaching audiences, partners, and communities across borders.

As we close this chapter, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to:
🤝 All project partners for their dedication, cooperation, and valuable contributions
🌍 The participants, organisations, and social enterprises who engaged with the project and shared their stories
💬 Everyone who supported, followed, and believed in the importance of sustainable and socially driven entrepreneurship

Although the project is ending, its impact continues through the knowledge, tools, connections, and inspiration created along the way.

Thank you for being part of Digital Story for Impact. 🎬✨

Learning never stops at European Development Foundation 🚀

At EDF, we believe that strong impact starts with strong people, and that means continuously growing, learning, and exploring new methods. 🌱

Last year, our colleague Maya became certified in LEGO Serious Play 🧱 - bringing creativity, structure, and hands-on learning into our work.
And we keep building on that momentum.

Just last week, our team joined the Improvisation in Education workshop by the Performing Bridges project 🎭

✨ Exploring new ways to engage learners
✨ Strengthening communication and adaptability
✨ Turning creativity into powerful educational tools

Because for us, learning isn’t a one-time step, it’s a continuous journey. 💡
We’re proud to keep investing in our team so we can deliver even greater impact in everything we do. 🌍

International Girls in ICT Day – Empowering the Next Generation of Women in Tech

On 24 April, the world marks International Girls in ICT Day, an initiative led by the International Telecommunication Union to inspire girls and young women to pursue careers in information and communication technologies.

At European Development Foundation, we believe that digital transformation must be inclusive and accessible to everyone. Through the EYE4AI project, we are working to empower young entrepreneurs across Europe with the knowledge and tools needed to understand and apply Artificial Intelligence in real business environments.

Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries, shaping entrepreneurship, and redefining the skills needed for the future. Ensuring that young women are part of this transformation is essential for building innovative, diverse, and sustainable digital economies.

Through research, interviews with entrepreneurs, and practical resources, EYE4AI contributes to building a stronger connection between technology, entrepreneurship, and youth empowerment.

Today we celebrate the girls and women who are shaping the future of technology.

🌍 World Health Day 2026
Together for Health. Stand with Science.

On 7 April, the world marks World Health Day, an annual global awareness day established by the World Health Organization (WHO) to highlight key health challenges and solutions.

This year’s campaign calls on everyone to stand with science and celebrate the power of scientific collaboration to protect the health of people, animals, plants, and our planet.

At the heart of the 2026 campaign is the One Health approach, which recognizes that human health is closely connected to the health of animals, ecosystems, and the environment.

💡 Science helps turn evidence into action.
💡 Collaboration builds stronger health systems.
💡 Trust in science protects communities worldwide.

This global initiative also coincides with major international events, including the International One Health Summitand the Global Forum of WHO Collaborating Centres, bringing together hundreds of scientific institutions to strengthen global health partnerships.

🌱 Let’s celebrate scientific achievements, share knowledge, and support evidence-based solutions for a healthier future.
