A Look Towards the Good
A campaign by Autism Today, the Sofia Student Council, and RUO Sofia City
"A Look Towards the Good" is a campaign initiated by the Autism Today Association, the Sofia Student Council, and RUO Sofia City in early 2016. The campaign aims to instill goodness in young people, providing an easier path for self-discovery and fostering respect for every individual, regardless of disability, social status, or other differences. The campaign will continue throughout this academic year.
More on the Topic
A world without people with "beautiful minds" would be less beautiful and less good.
Our joint idea is realized through periodic meetings between students from schools in Sofia and public figures from various professions and activities, who have succeeded in a particular field. What these figures have in common, besides their success, is a good heart that supports one or more charitable causes and promotes goodness within them.
The campaign is supported by Mrs. Kristalina Georgieva, whose message was that doing good is not simply about refraining from doing bad, but that goodness deserves to be more visible and heard. She emphasized that we live in a world where some of the most beautiful works of art were created by different people—Beethoven was deaf, Mozart was autistic, and Van Gogh suffered from a nervous disorder.
The Mayor of Sofia, Mrs. Yordanka Fandakova, also a great supporter of good causes, sent greetings and wished success to the campaign, expressing her belief that the "A Look Towards the Good" initiative will gain popularity and more people will join over time, showing together that goodness is possible and that the world around our children can become increasingly favorable and kind.
