Following the joint initiative of the Ministry of Education and Bulgarian Welding Society, a similar initiative in Bulgaria is organized in 2018 and 2019 year as part of the “Olympiad of Professions” and in particular competitions between students from our vocational schools „Young Welder of Bulgaria from VET“. As part of the competition, along with a demonstration of welding skills the young students were supposed to prepare their „Art welded compositions“ on a specific topic, presenting it to a committee of welding experts and explaining the methods and technics used for preparing the project .
The series of events related to motivation and raising the prestige of the profession of the welder are organized by: Bulgarian Welding Society (BSU) and the Bulgarian Organization of Welding Coordinators / BOWC/.
