This autumn, the Tuk-Tam Association is launching a new edition of Ideinik, a competition for students in grades 9 – 12 who notice something in their surroundings that they would like to change and are ready to take the first step.
The initiative gives young people the opportunity to turn their ideas into real projects. Participants form teams and develop their proposals with the support of a mentor and a teacher. Ideas can address a variety of issues and challenges in their school, neighbourhood, city or community.
The best projects can receive up to €1,000 in funding to help teams turn their proposals into concrete action. Ideinik is organised with the support of the Ministry of Education and Science.
The initiative is open to students in grades 9 – 12 who have an idea for positive change and are willing to work on it as part of a team. The project does not need to be fully developed before applying – what matters is having an idea and the motivation to develop and implement it.
The application deadline is 21 October 2026, at 2:00 p.m.
For more information about Ideinik, the participation requirements and the application process, visit tuk-tam.bg/ideinik.
If you have an idea for a change you would like to see around you, gather a team and apply for Ideinik 2026!
