Who Are We?

The Bulgarian Cultural and Social Association “Rodina” aims to promote and preserve Bulgarian culture, traditions, and language among the Bulgarian community in NSW. At Rodina Sydney, we know that sometimes all it takes to change the world is a little support. Since our founding in 1978, we have been determined to make an impact, fostering knowledge and understanding of the Bulgarian culture and history through social events, expositions, forums, performances, and other public initiatives. We seek to strengthen the social, economic, educational, and cultural ties between Australia and Bulgaria, therefore, maintaining a close relationship with Australian organisations and institutions in Australia is of significant importance to us.

Our Core Projects: The Focus of Our Efforts

Language School

The main aim of the Bulgarian Language School is to develop speaking, listening, reading and writing skills to foster a love of language and culture.

 

The school provides programs, that are approved by the Department of Education, that include traditions and customs.

Traditional Dance

Bulgarian Rhythms is a Sydney based dance group offering classes in traditional Bulgarian dancing. People of all ages, experiences and cultural backgrounds are welcome!


Our dancers perform at various cultural events, weddings, and multicultural festivals and often organise picnics, live music parties, and weekend getaways.

Community Events

Organizing community events is an effective way to foster a sense of togetherness and enhance the bond among us. These events, such as charity events, cultural festivals, or concerts, parties, offer a platform for individuals to interact and establish connections. By actively participating in such events, we invite you to join us in creating a lively community that benefits all its members.
