It is a real first investment in a child’s business idea.\n\nWhy Are We Doing This?\nWe believe every child should have the opportunity to create\, communicate\, make decisions\, dream of having their own business\, and discover the entrepreneur within themselves.\nBut even more importantly\, we want children to understand that business is not only about profit.\nTrue value lies in what you create for others.\nLet’s give children the courage to start.\nLet’s give their ideas a chance.\nLet’s show that success and doing good can grow together.\n\nOur Mission\nOur mission is to give every child the opportunity to discover the entrepreneur within themselves and understand that success is not measured only by how much you earn\, but by your ability to create good products with people in mind and create value not only for yourself\, but also for others.\n\nThe old idea that we can first accumulate enormous wealth and then simply give a portion of it to good causes — while receiving tax benefits in the process — is not enough to create a better world. It does not eliminate poverty. It does not make nature cleaner. It does not restore trust\, strengthen communities\, or rebuild the human connections that are so easily lost in a world driven by speed\, scale\, and technology.\n\nTechnology can make us more capable\, but human values determine whether what we create will make the world a better place.\nAnd when the pursuit of enormous wealth becomes the ultimate goal\, something very important can be lost along the way. Too often\, the price of excessive growth is paid through compromises in our values\, the quality of what we create\, people’s well-being\, the health of our communities\, or our moral conscience.\nWe believe there is another way.\nWe believe that success\, responsibility\, and conscience should grow together.\nWe want to build a new generation of entrepreneurs who build goodness into what they create from the very beginning. People who choose quality over shortcuts\, people over exploitation\, trust over manipulation\, and long-term value over short-term profit.\nCreating a product or service that is high-quality\, provides value\, and makes people happy — that is the essence of a value-driven business.\nThe goal of a good entrepreneur is not only profit\, but also the impact created by a valuable product. People who solve real problems and create quality gain something more lasting than money: trust and credibility.\nThrough real\, practical experience\, we teach children to create with people in mind\, communicate\, take responsibility\, make decisions\, deal with rejection\, and build trust.\nKids Markets develops the skills that are increasingly being left behind in today’s digital world: social skills.\nLooking a customer in the eye. Explaining what you are selling. Hearing “no” and continuing. Smiling and building a connection. These are skills that no textbook can replace.\nWith every stall\, presentation\, and sale\, children learn to think big\, work hard\, and believe in their ideas.\n\nRegister Now\nLittle Entrepreneurs. Big Hearts. A Better World Tomorrow.

SUMMARY:KIDS MARKET PLOVDIV 2026
DESCRIPTION:KIDS MARKET IN PLOVDIV – SEPTEMBER 27\, 2026 – with the support of Plovdiv Municipality\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDear children\, parents\, and teachers\, \nWith great joy and pride\, we invite you to the first kids market of the national campaign in Plovdiv Kids Markets – kidsmarkets.org/ ! \nThis is not an ordinary event. This is the beginning of something big. \nPlovdiv Municipality is the second municipality in Bulgaria to believe in this idea and support it — and that’s no coincidence. Plovdiv is a city with spirit\, with vision\, and with people who understand that the future is built by brave\, creative children who are learning today to think like entrepreneurs. \nOn September 27\, 2026\, at the Rowing Base in Plovdiv\, children aged 5–18 will stand behind their own stands\, present products they made themselves\, and meet real customers. \nNo simulations. No pretend play. A real market. Real experience. Real pride. \nThe event is organized by: \n the Open Learning Foundation and Livingston Global Academy with the support of Plovdiv Municipality And the “Usmivka” Association. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHERE\nPlovdiv\, the Rowing Base of Plovdiv Municipality and the Municipal Enterprise “Youth Activities”. \nWHEN\nSeptember 27\, 2026 — an outdoor kids market. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe best-performing participants will have the opportunity to take part in the final of the kids markets on November 29\, 2026. \nWHY — The Goal of Kids Markets\nThe most successful entrepreneurship doesn’t start with the question “How do I profit?”\, but with the question “What problem should I solve?” \nEntrepreneurship is more than selling and profit. It starts with one important question: What can I create that will make someone happy and make people’s lives better\, and so earn my keep? Creating a product or service that is high quality\, that brings value to the other person\, that is the essence of real business. It’s hard to be a valuable entrepreneur\, but in doing so you make the world better for yourself and for others. \nIn that difficulty lies the greatest reward: changing the world positively with your products. \nWe believe entrepreneurship isn’t just about making money\, it’s about discovering your own potential\, learning from real situations\, and developing the courage to try. An entrepreneur’s goal isn’t always just profit\, it’s also the impact that a valuable product creates. People who solve real problems and create quality gain something more lasting than money: trust and credibility. \nSchool teaches a lot of knowledge\, but it often misses the most important lessons: how to take initiative\, how to solve real problems\, and how to turn an idea into something of value. To that we add something that is falling further behind these days: social skills. Looking a customer in the eye. Explaining what you’re selling. Hearing “no” and carrying on. Smiling and building a connection. These are skills no textbook can replace\, and right here\, at the market\, children learn them in real time. \nWith every stand\, presentation\, and sale\, children learn to think big\, work hard\, and believe in their ideas. Money doesn’t come free — most people work hard to earn it. \nThe goal of kidsmarkets.org/ is to spark the entrepreneurial spirit in children by giving them real opportunities to create\, sell\, and succeed through hands-on market experiences that build confidence\, creativity\, and life skills. \nWHO CAN PARTICIPATE\nThe event is an open invitation to children\, parents\, schools\, and classes. Children can take part individually or as a team\, presenting and selling products they made themselves. See the full Rules and Terms before registering. \nThe maximum price of an item is 5 euros. The maximum investment is 20 euros. \nThe funds raised can be used for a shared purpose for the team or class\, such as a trip\, a visit to a museum or theater\, buying something for the class\, or a donation to a charitable cause. \nHOW TO PARTICIPATE\nParticipation requires advance online registration and a follow-up report. \nThe best-performing teams and young entrepreneurs will get the opportunity to take part in the final of the kids markets on November 29\, 2026. \nORGANIZERS\nthe Open Learning Foundation and Livingston Global Academy\, with the support of Plovdiv Municipality and the “Usmivka” Association. \nDoes your child dream of having their own business? Give them a chance to experience it. This is an opportunity for your young entrepreneur to learn\, earn\, and grow while creating\, communicating with customers\, and discovering their own potential. \n🔗 Registration and information: kidsmarkets.org/ \nWe look forward to seeing you!
