Mobility to Bulgaria



We started our trip on 28th of April first we went to İstanbul and on 29th of April we went to Dobrich by bus.
Hrisimira met with us at 5,30 am. (Thank you Hrisimira and Sorry for disturbing you too early :)) 
  We went to our hotel and we had some time to rest but we couldn't sleep. We made a trip around Dobrich.
Our headmaster, Adnan SAPAR, loved Dobrich. We went to Bakery Factory and they gave some presents to us:)
   We visited a traditional house in Dobrich on Monday. We could taste typical Bulgarian foods and drinks there.
Also we discovered that we had so many common things with Bulgaria - çorba and Aşk olsun, for example






 We travelled to Balchik Castle, it was wonderful. our teachers liked Balchik castle but my favourite was Kaliakra. I think Kaliakra is a part of the heaven in the world. The next day we went to  Gymnazium of Ivan Vazov. we liked the folk dances very much. We had a short trip in the school and it was the time of the coordinators meeting. I couldn't understand many things in that meeting and I'm still asking questions - sorry for that. The last day we went to Varna and took a tour in Varna, Aladja Rock Monastery, Beach, and a shopping center.
    It was really nice to meet all  partners and we want to thank Bulgarian Collegues and Students for their hospitality.

Mobility to Bulgaria

Our trip to Bulgaria started on Sunday 29th April. When we came to Dobrich, Bulgarian teachers and the students were waiting for us there. At first they showed us a hotel where we stayed, gave us some time to rest and then we made a trip around Dobrich. On Monday we visited traditional house in Dobrudja. We could try typical Bulgarian folk costume, taste typical food and drink and hear typical music there. We were glad to know this culture. Then, full of great food, we travelled to the Castle in Balchik, which consists of the Botanic garden built by Maria Edinburská. Our kind guides told us something about the plants in this garden and some of us made an interview with a young Bulgarian reporter from Comenius project. Finally, we went to archeological reserve of Kaliakra. It was a sunny day, so the view of the sea was amazing. Next day we spent some hours in Gymnazium of Ivan Vazov. There were a lot of teachers and students who came there, although they had a holiday, to perform us typical Bulgarian dance. It was really nice. After that our guides showed us the school, mainly the IT and Physics classes because this school is aimed at Maths and Sciences. Then the school organised coordinators‘ meeting, which was joined by all Comenius partners, and the Bulgarian students prepared presentations for us. On Wednesday we visited Aladja rock monastery, where monks lived in the past and it was created just by nature. We spent a rest of the day on the beach in Varna, where we had lunch and then we were relaxing near the sea. Then our guides took us to a shopping centre to buy some souvenirs for our families or friends and similar things to remind us of our stay in Bulgaria. In the evening we packed our suitcases and on Thursday morning we flew back to Slovakia. We are glad to meet all those great people and see all those beautiful places and we hope that one day we will meet again.

EASTER IN SPAIN (1)


In these photos you can see some of our Comenius Spanish partners, enjoying and living our unusual Holy Week:

This is Rafa Martín. He belongs to a group called “Imperio Romano”. They march in all the processions with a band playing Easter music. It is very colourful and rhythmical. On Good Fridays when Jesus dies, the feathers of their helmets change into black colour as a mourning signal.

Photographs 2 and 3 belong to the Easter group of our teacher Tomás López. They represent the symbols of religion

In photograph 4 you can see our headmaster Antonio Guerra. His Easter group represents a biblical passage of the Old Testament. In this photo you can see their faces because they are not in the parade, they normally wear a kind of “Mask” with the face of the biblical figures they  represent

Photographs 5,6 and 7 belong to the representation of the 4 Evangelists that is the reason why they carry a book in their arms, it represents the New Testament which was written by them. Antonio Ortega is a member of this group, you can see them in the official parade.
