The economic migration of Bulgarian citizens to European Mediterranean countries began after the fall of socialism in 1989, and contributed to the development of new forms of activities and reasoning in people. It involved representatives of Bulgarians and Bulgarian Gypsies. Greece and Spain became the most preferred destinations for work abroad, and there are currently numerous 'Bulgariannes' generated by transnational mobility. Bulgarians and Gypsies have felt the need to establish their own structures to serve as social agents, and aimed at maintaining their cultural tradition, translating their historical memories, and building a community life. Examples of such institutions are the Sunday schools abroad that have been created. There are twenty-nine of them is Spain and four in Greece, carrying out cultural and educational activities.
