Our Team
ABLE Activator is the leadership and entrepreneurship program developed by the Association of the Bulgarian Leaders and Entrepreneurs (ABLE) – an active community of entrepreneurial young people, who contribute to the development of the environment around them, wherever they are.
Our mission is to develop a civil society, inspire leadership and spread entrepreneurial culture in Bulgaria. Our values are:
Novel view
We dare to change ourselves and the world around us!
Perpetual progress
We never stop developing and improving.
We see opportunities, not problems
In insurmountable obstacles, we see opportunities.
Leadership
We are role models for others, and we help them reach their full potential.
Initiative
We share our ideas and passion, and we turn them into action.
Tens of members and friends of ABLE contribute to the continuous development and constant improvement of ABLE Activator in various ways.
With the exception of the Project leader, all the members of the operative team are volunteers, a lot of whom also graduates from previous editions of ABLE Activator.
