Аморфа Amorpha Youth Group, the founding idea behind Amorpha Youth Foundation, got its official name on 25 January 2009 following a series of youth activities in the community designed and made happen by a small and cheerful team of young people who had met at one of the local high-schools in Varna, Bulgaria. The first set of events featured graffiti and illustration, underground music, street cutlure, youth subcultures, intercultural awareness and youth café (youth public talks).
Breakwater Talks are public talks on a variety of topics by local and foreign presenters. We are aiming to create a healthy discussion forum, exchange opinions, gain knowledge in a variety of professional areas and fields of interest, discover cultures, involve foreign diaspora, reach out to interesting speakers accross the world, help improve fluency in a range of key languages especially by young people. We have selected as venues the local spaces which these languages and their cultures inhabit. Organised by Amorpha Youth Foundation and partners.
