Once upon a time there was a grey neighbourhood in the centre of a big city. There lived black-and-white people and one day, a gang of young nice people came in. The local kids were told that there exists more colours than the black, white and grey that they already knew. So, they got inspired and bit by bit started to see the colours. After some time, they realized that sharing their colour dreams will make them real...
In fact, it wasn´t so grey, but, dear readers, you should get immersed in the black-and-white atmosphere of the Fakulteta Roma neighbourhood in Sofia.
A couple of years ago as part of a festival for art in public space "Zapaden Park", Compote Collective guides a comics workshop, entitled "New Life Street No.8" . It is when it all started... the energy, the dreams, the futute.
And thanks to the hard work of devoted people, sponsors and eager helpers in this marvellous entrepreneurship, I was very glad to attend the official opening of the Dreams Faculty on Friday, 10 October 2014.
This is the dream place of the local kids to play in, share ideas and learn something new every day. This is the perfect playground, because they have built it themselves.
A feeling of joy arose in me after seeing the work well done and the kids´ happiness of having fulfilled a dream by sharing it.
