This practice is part of the project "Europeans days in the Municipality of Sliven 2004", initiated by the Directorate International Cooperation and European Integration of the Municipality of Sliven on the occasion of the competition of the Delegation of the European Commission in Bulgaria for celebrating the Day of Europe. Partners on the project were Community Center Christo Botev village of Biala, Community Center Iury Gagarun village of Novachevo, Youth Center city of Sliven, Regional Library Sava Dobroplodni - city of Sliven, Youth Center for Regional Development, Regional Inspectorate of the MES (Ministry of Education and Science).

By tradition an accent in the celebration of the European days in Sliven was on interesting cultural program, including visits from famous performers and authors, as well as a presentation for the foreign guests on the achievements of the local artists and the cultural potential of the City of Sliven. An important precondition for this was the celebration within the same period of the May days of culture and of two brilliant festivals the children s book festival and the international children festival for folklore dances. The City of Sliven and the villages of Biala, Novachevo, Seliminovo, Nikolaevo, Krushare, Blatetz, Glufishevo, Samuilovo, Gavrailovo and Jelio Voivoda were pleased to meet the talented young performers coming from some of the European countries and that was the finale of the European days in the Municipality of Sliven 2004, under the motto One Europe Many Cultures .

The cultural events of the Europe Days in Sliven were attended mostly by young people. The reason was the exceptional engagement and enthusiasm, with which the children and youths from Sliven participated in all European activities and celebrations.

The realization of One Europe Many Cultures enriched the ideas of the cultural variety of United Europe of most of the citizens of Sliven, also by accentuating on the values of the Bulgarian cultural traditions.
