On May 7, 2019, the exhibition "Human Heritage of Europe" was officially opened in Stockholm. The event was hosted by representation of the European Commission and the European Parliament in Stockholm and was part of the series of events under the title “Reloaded! European Values”.

The exhibition recalls the work of influential humanists from more than 20 European countries, including Bulgaria, who had made an important contribution to the dissemination and promotion of humanism in Europe during 14th-15th centuries. Bulgaria is represented by two prominent humanists of that time – Filip Stanislavov and Hristofor Zhefarovich. The idea of the exhibition belongs to the Europa Humanistica network – a group of European scholars under the auspices of the Vienna University and the Austrian Academy of Sciences. The coordinator of the project in Stockholm is Goethe Institute with financial and organizational support from diplomatic representations of EU Member States, including the Bulgarian Embassy to Sweden.

In the eve of the Day of Europe and the upcoming elections for the members of the European Parliament, the EU Member States embassies in Stockholm and their cultural institutes under the EUNIC network joined force in an effort to highlight the relevance of the universal European values the European values promoted by the early European humanists. These humanist values remain central to the future of the European Union and the Union’s ability to successfully exercise its global leadership in defense of freedom, democracy and human rights.

The exhibition was opened with welcoming speeches on behalf of European Commission representation in Stockholm and the EU Member States embassies to Sweden. All speakers stressed the underlying message of the exhibition that the values of the early European humanists are relevant even today. More than 200 guests were attended the envisage of the exhibition. Among the guests were representatives of Swedish institutions and the public, the diplomatic corps and academics. The exhibition will remain at the atrium of Europe House in Stockholm until May 17^th, and then it will travel to many other cities across Sweden.
