The Bread Houses Network started as part of the global network of International Council for Cultural Centres (I3C). The first Bread House was born as an innovative community cultural centre in the town of Gabrovo and grew into an innovative social enterprise kneading together the space of a community cultural centre and a community bakery, where people engage with art while the bread is being baked in the traditional fire oven. 

The network trains people from Bulgaria and all over the world through the platform “Bread Therapy” so they apply the model of mixed paid and free services in their countries as a social franchise model. In the programmes participate people with disabilities, refugees, minorities, victims of violence.
