One of our co-founders, Kris Filipiuk participated in the Dream City & Urban Creativity Pecha Kucha night event on the 20th April 2024 which was held in Sofia Tech Park’s incubator building. Create Sofia Pecha Kucha night is a monthly event organised by Levent Korkmaz for the community of creative professionals to showcase their work in 20 images of 20 seconds – a format known as “pecha kucha”.
Kris shared about his work as an artist, talking about his experience in international project management starting from his years a scout camp leader, leading up to him moving to Sofia, creating two bands and running several creative events, including his workshop “Turning words into poems”, jam sessions in Sofia, his work with Silent Lab and eventually co-founding Creatosphere in early 2024. Kris spoke about Creatosphere’s “Create Your Workshop” series of events where facilitators learn various methodologies and principles of designing trainings and workshops, and then spoke about recent events that Creatosphere is planning.

This is my inspiration for this theme and it is something I recently discovered as a mindset. I found new logic for my entire life through caring for another and how much hope that brings to an individual when they have to do things to make another creature’s life better and not their own. Which of course makes everyone in the equation happy.
