subjects. Divided into teams, we participated in
practical activities in mathematics, drawing,
acquainting with the metamorphosis phenomenon
in the class of natural sciences, music, literature,
physical exercises. We have acquired basic survival
skills in the wild - how light a fire, how to make a
cup of birch bark, how to cut wood, work with a
knife for making cutlery.
Svetla Popova: What next?
Stanislava Slavcheva: The course was in May and
we were unable to administer a third eTwinning
project. In the summer we'll do a compilation of all
the outdoor games we've seen in Sweden. We will
include others initiated by our pedagogues. We will
issue a book "Forest School". This "textbook" will be
used by the college and will be shown at every
presentation of the kindergarten activity as an
innovation in the training of 3-7 year old children in
Bulgaria. This booklet will also be used by parents
who want to have fun, and in parallel to develop the
skills and knowledge of their children.
The teachers processed animations putting captions
/ children cannot write / and appropriate music. It
was a successful ICT implementation project for
modern kids who adore technology. We are
considering a new eTwinning project in the next
school year to apply other applications presented in
Spain and in other national courses involving our
pedagogues.
Svetla Popova: Thank you! I wish you success in
new projects for developing the ICT competences of
your children. Miss Slavcheva! You participated in a
structured course "Forest learning: The Swedish
Perspective" in Sweden. Would you like to share its
usefulness and the possibilities of applying the
knowledge in your pedagogical work!
Stanislava Slavcheva: So far, our work on outdoor
education includes only observations in nature, zoo
visits, and the creation of natural materials
products. Therefore, the course in Sweden is of
particular benefit to us.
Here we saw practically outsourced training taking
place in the meadows and forests of this interesting
country. We watched lessons in nature in all
Svetla Popova: Mrs. Zhecheva! You have
participated in 3 structured courses in Erasmus+
and you are the author of 2 eTwinning projects
later on which are relevant to the courses. Have
you managed to create professional contacts, and,
if so, do they have a future?
Yana Zhecheva: We met teachers from different
countries. We joined the CALL (Creating A Learning
Love) eTwinning project with partners from Spain,
Estonia, Macedonia, Slovenia and Turkey. We have
applied with an Erasmus+ KA2 project on the same
topic that has already been approved by the
Spanish National Agency. We work hard to form a
common European education and active learning in
an international environment.
Svetla Popova: Thanks! I wish you success in the
implementation of the new projects and making
new friendships.
