Three-day commemorations marking the 150th anniversary of the April Uprising commenced in Panagyurishte on Thursday with the “150 Greetings from Around the World” initiative. This event featured video messages contributed by children and youth from various parts of the globe. Following this, a theatrical performance was staged, adapted from Stefan Tsanev’s work, Children of the World.
