After all the children successfully finished the school year, we used the summer for learning and fun. Six children from different countries, who study Bulgarian with us, joined the "Children's Police Station" camp. This was their first summer camp in Bulgaria. There were many educational games, competitions, and prizes. They took on the roles of policemen and firefighters and learned how to give first aid.
In July and August, we organized colourful art workshops and visits to museums, where the children learned interesting facts about the Bulgarian history. Also, we went to the planetarium, where they learned about how important for us is the sun. Of course, during all this time we did not stop with the Bulgarian lessons.
In September with the beginning of the school year we are going to accept new children.

Thanks to your support, 20 refugee and migrant children from different countries continue to receive language support and to successfully integrate in Bulgaria.
In recent months, the children have continued to increase their level of proficiency in Bulgarian. This helps them not only to understand the learning content of the various subjects, but also enables them to actively participate in school life. All children in our program successfully completed the first semester.
In addition to the language program, in order to increase their knowledge of Bulgarian culture and traditions, we are organizing thematic workshops. At the end of February, we held a martenitsi workshop, during which for the first time they made martenitsi for their relatives and friends, learned who Baba Marta, Pijo and Penda are, why we give each other martenitsi, and how long we wear them.

Starting school in Bulgaria

Dear friends,
Happy New Year!
We want to share with you what we have done in the recent months.
In September, the children from Ukraine, who intensively studied the Bulgarian language with us, started school. We assisted their parents in the initial communication with the schools. We helped them fill out the paperwork. For a boy with interests in the field of arts, we have prepared a special opinion in order to be allocated an additional place for him in a vocational high school of arts.
Along with this, we continued with the Bulgarian language lessons in which the children increasingly improve their level of the language proficiency. During classes we spend a lot of time talking and directly communicating. We also play educational games with the younger students which they really like.
Just before the Christmas holidays we made art workshops for Christmas cards where the children had a lot of fun. They made lovely cards for their parents and friends with great desire.
In 2023, we plan to continue with the Bulgarian lessons, and also to create a set of training materials to support the work of teachers in other cities who teach refugee and migrant children.
