Meet BG Be Active
BG Be Active is a non-governmental organization that has been creating social projects in Bulgaria for the past 12 years. While placemaking – the process of planning, designing, and managing public spaces – is their primary focus, their work extends to two dimensions: physical well-being, which is used to promote grassroots sports to the Bulgarian public, and environmental awareness. This two-pronged approach has given rise to the organization's name, highlighting the importance of being both physically and socially active in order to shape the community.
One of the organization's flagship initiatives is Placemaking for Democracy, a project that seeks to activate communities through placemaking in public spaces. The mission is to create spaces that people can take ownership of and use as a way to connect with their community and participate in public life. The project requires significant effort and investment, and BG Be Active has been working to create tools to facilitate community participation and engagement.
Amplifying their message online is no easy task. With Issuu’s user-friendly platform at the core of their workflow, however, BG Be Active is able to reach a wider audience and increase awareness by transforming their static documents into highly engaging and interactive digital content for every channel.
Content Marketing Challenges
