Youths where people working on different project and initiatives demonstrated among the local community the aims and results of their activities ( Elina Kabakchieva and Antoaneta Stamenova presented there the three Comenius projects that went in our school). In the beginning of July the coordinator from “M.Lomonosov” Secondary school

their projects, discussed common ideas and shared opinion on the topics.We exchanged the sites so that they activities and results could be seen by more people because when something good is happening it should announced and be used as a valuable resource of knowledge and practice.

The Comenius project is a project that supplied us all with plentiful gifts.

The contact with our partners filled the palette of our emotions with many colors. Meeting new friends was an excellent opportunity for our life, as the participating countries were very different from each other.

Our knowledge about the traditions and values ​​of the participating countries was particularly interesting. The great amount of images we had during these two years, empowered us. The experience, knowledge and performances contributed to an objective vision of the European world.

We developed and deepened our knowledge on matters of ecology. After each communication the need to protect the environment was strengthened. We will not forget everyone’s thrill when all the partners planted one or two trees in our school yard during the hosting of the partners in our country.

The projects we made with pleasure, the pleasure of creation, made us proud. We were proud when we made them known to our teachers, to our city, to the communities, to our parents, and when we saw them displayed on the website  was created for this purpose on the Internet for the needs of the program.

We learned about the educational systems of the other countries and with pride we found out that ours is the same in many cases. We felt that we are one big family that has every reason to strive for the same values. We, as young people, need to maintain and promote anything positive that resulted from our two-year action.

There may be sorrow because of the end of the program, but it will be balanced by the joy of communication with the new friends we made and we will maintain in the future.
We thank all those that helped to build this exciting experience.
