Heartfelt thanks to all the young artists, students, educators, film-makers, designers, musicians, writers, hip hop dancers. Thank you all for your passion, talent and support. You inspire others to do the same from Bulgaria to Boston, Athens to Atlanta, New Zealand, The Philippines, US - and so many other places. 

It is a privilege and a pleasure to be working with these young artists.

Step2Freedom, November 2012.

A three-week outdoor art installation against human trafficking in the heart of Sofia, capital city of Bulgaria. The Bridge of Lovers featured 60 posters – 24 hours a day. The NO Project was honored to be part of this event.

Artists from the New Bulgarian University, Graphics Art Dept and young artists from Greece collaborated with The NO Project.

To the filmmakers, students, cast, production crew, extras, mentors, supporters – THANK YOU ALL for donating your time, skill and commitment. Everything matters. 

Myra Dracopoulos, Aged 18 – A special thank you  for your contribution to NO ENTRY too. Insightful concept.

Thanks to proactive educators, The NO Project recently met with a group of high school students and young artists.  24 hours later – we received this. More to come.. Thank you to you all – and especially to the young artists, Gerasimos and Myra, who created NO ENTRY. So often we hear from students, " Another time, another place -that could be me." They are right. Please contact us at info@thenoproject.org if you want to contribute in any way. We cannot do this alone.
