Because of disunity, in the ensuing centuries Thracian territory was occupied successively by the Greeks, Persians, Macedonians, and Romans. A Thracian kingdom still existed under the Roman Empire until the first century A.D., when Thrace was incorporated into the empire, and Serditsa was established as a trading center on the site of the modern Bulgarian capital, Sofia.

The case study examines TAM both as a physical space as well as a community of active people in the context of Veliko Tarnovo. An active member of the community, the facilitator, took part in the ViabilityNet 3.0 program, which supported development of local community leaders from Central and Eastern Europe. The program offered development guidance to local community leaders as a way of supporting local communities to become more resilient, thriving places where people engage as neighbors, both in the present and with an eye to the future . The envisaged impact of the ViabilityNet 3.0 program is two-fold, as both the local community leaders and their communities were the focus of our attention. Accordingly we deemed it important to gain an understanding of the changes the program brings to both. A complementary study entitled ViabilityNet 3.0 program 2017/2018 evaluation: Community leaders´ learning path (“impact measurement”) exam- ined the community leaders and their development.
