Building Stronger Communities Through Cooperation
International Initiatives for Cooperation (IIC) is a Bulgarian non-profit organisation working to empower young people, support local communities and promote social inclusion, cultural dialogue and sustainable development.
Since 2003, we have been turning ideas into meaningful projects, creating opportunities for people to connect, learn and make a difference.

Connecting Communities Across Borders
IIC actively participates in European and international cooperation, creating opportunities for young people, volunteers, professionals and local communities to learn from one another and work together.
Through youth exchanges, training courses, volunteering programmes, internships and international projects, we help people discover new perspectives and build lasting connections.

People. Ideas. Cooperation. Impact.
We believe that sustainable change begins when people are given the opportunity to participate, learn and take action.
Our work is built around four principles:
Empower
We give people the knowledge, skills and confidence to become active participants in their communities.
Connect
We bring together young people, volunteers, organisations and communities from different backgrounds.
Inspire
We encourage new ideas, creativity and initiatives that respond to real community needs.
Create Impact
We turn cooperation into practical projects and lasting positive change.
Let's Work Together
Change starts with cooperation.
Whether you are a young person, volunteer, organisation or community partner, we invite you to connect with IIC and become part of our work.
Together, we can create opportunities, strengthen communities and build a more inclusive future.
