ORT Bulgaria was established in 1935. Workshops opened in Sofia in 1936 and a technical school in September 1947, but the programme had to close in 1951. ORT relaunched its activities in Bulgaria in December 1995. The ORT online archive holds two reports relating to the early operations. More information on ORT's programme in Bulgaria can be found in the 1937-1949 reports submitted to World ORT's governing bodies and in the World ORT Report (formerly the ORT Yearbook). These can be found under World ORT. Our photo galleries include more from ORT Bulgaria and a brief history of ORT's activities in the country is available here.
