Arte.doc, Translation and Localization Company, donated to the secondary school " Savo Ts. Savov " in Pirdop, more than 400 books collected by colleagues , translators and supporters for the beginning of the new school year within a book collecting campaign held together with the " Together in Class" Foundation.

We participated in this project in order to show that Bulgarian companies support such initiatives because they improve the quality of education, and that they can cooperate closely with NGOs.

You can find an additional information about the event on our facebook.

It's been several months since Translation and Localization Company Arte.doc joined actively in the Open Eyes campaign. The campaign sticker which says "Service dogs and their owners are always welcome HERE" and an image of the four-legged companion of people with visual impairments can be seen on the doors of all agency offices.

We can say with satisfaction that we will continue to support the campaign in the new 2013 in order to contribute to facilitating the access to public places of people with visual impairments, accompanied by their service dogs.

A special recent survey also highlighted the need of greater societal understanding in order to solve the problem. According to the data of the survey about a quarter of the people in our country are not aware that people with visual impairments, accompanied by their service dogs, have the right to enter public or private institutions together with their four-legged companion.

And if everyone contributes with what they can to facilitate the access of service dogs, the urban environment will offer better conditions to their visually impaired owners and will make their everyday life easier.

Translation and Localization Company arte.doc supported Wheelmap, the global project for marking wheelchair accessible places by delivering a free translation to Bulgarian.

This way Bulgaria joined the global project, designed to help persons using wheelchairs or with impaired mobility. On the website www.wheelmap.org anyone can easily find locations and places and mark their accessibility level for persons in wheelchairs using traffic lights system (using green, yellow or red colour).

Translation and Localization Company arte.doc donated funds and proudly supports its friends from "Ice Blade" FSSC in their endeavour for making figure skating a mass and popular sport in Bulgaria.

We share this idea and see figure skating not only as a sport but also as a simple way to have fun, available to anyone who is willing to combine training with their other activities (job, school).

Arte.doc wishes the club a lot of success in encouraging more and more young people to lead healthier, fulfilled and happy life.

Our agency was part of the Varna Economy University 'Sustainable Marketing Activities of the Green Circle companies' research aimed at monitoring and analysis of the activities of Bulgarian companies implementing green practices in their work.
