On December 9, during a special session organized as part of the QS Reimagine Education Awards & Conference in London, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Marina Stefanova, Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration and Executive Director of the FEB Foundation, delivered a live presentation to a full audience about the Mobile Center for Visual Science "Kaleidoscope". The presentation captured the interest of education leaders from around the world, who had the opportunity to learn more about this project, unique to Bulgaria and the region.

In September 2024, it was announced that "Kaleidoscope" ranked among the top 25% most promising educational projects and made it to the shortlist, competing directly with 1,300 applications across 18 categories in the prestigious global QS Reimagine Education Awards 2024. The innovative projects were evaluated by over 800 international judges.

The QS Reimagine Education Awards is one of the most prestigious international platforms for recognizing educational innovations. Public hearings and the awards ceremony will take place later this year in London during the QS Reimagine Education Awards & Conference 2024.

Kaleidoscope features the first scientific and informational installation in Bulgaria focused on sustainability and the Global Goals. These performances represent an innovative model of social-emotional learning, centered on visitor experiences. Developed using 3D mapping technology and directed by teams of faculty members and creative 3D artists, they combine digital imagery, motion, and music.

The first two films, "A World at Risk" and "Hope for the Future" premiered at the Bulgarian pavilion during the international climate conference COP28 in Dubai. Earlier this year, Kaleidoscope hosted its first Days of Visual Science for Sustainable Development, which attracted over 1,200 participants. In May, during the annual Lunar Festival of Lights, Kaleidoscope drew nearly 10,000 residents and visitors to the capital.
