Thank you @LaskaNenova & the @BGBEACTIVE team! Not only was it a great forum on all things “creative bureaucracy” in Bulgaria, but also what a feat to pull this off just before the Christmas break 👏🏼

We’re looking for a Global Director of Storytelling and Communications - someone who understands the role that stories play in shifting systems.
This person can be based anywhere in the world.
A super exciting opportunity (even if I say so myself…!) app.beapplied.com/apply/wuks…
