The open discussion of the current council was in the context of the long traditions of the textile industry in the area. It occupies an important place in the production structure of the district. Before the outbreak of the Covid pandemic and a number of enterprises had to curtail their activities, a scientific forum was regularly held in the city of Blagoevgrad, discussing the problems of the industry. The forum was held under the kind hosting of the Neofit Rilski Secondary School. The members of the council expressed their wish for the forum to be renewed - the favorable impact of the forum is felt in the settlements of the entire region. Young people are informed about the opportunities that Neophyte Rilski Higher Secondary School offers in the field of Fashion, and in particular the dual training opportunities that are offered.
In this context, BC will prepare a motivated letter-proposal for joint activities with the responsible institutions in order to resume scientific forums and thus revive the industry after the severe consequences of the Covid pandemic.
