The
3rd meeting of our Comenius project took place from the 23rd to
the 28th of March.
During the weekend
we visited the city. On Saturday we went to the Evksinograd residence and
saw its cellers, also the dolphinarium and the Sea Garden. On Sunday we went
to Velico Turnovo, former capital of the country, where we walked around the
medieval part of the city and its castle, and we also visited Arbanasi, a
beautiful town nearby. We loved the country and we admired how green it is. On Monday we participated in the school activities, visiting around and taking part in the project meeting together with our students. Each delegation presented the products of the activity done in each school under the heading “As a European I’d Like to Teach the World How to Use Town Open Spaces in a Creative Way”. After lunch we visited the Planetarium and we walked around the city.

exhibition of the posters that creative students had made and that were
related to the mentioned activity. We were interviewed by two different TV
channels, one local and another one national. Our students, together with
the other foreign students played volleyball and basketball matches with

other.
