The second mobility of the Comenius project was held in March, the host was Bulgaria. The Hungarian group spent 5 days in Cirpan: Szántó Vivien, Szűcs Eszter, Tóth Boglárka, Soltész Regina, Gyúró Gellért, Kiss Zoltán were our students, the teachers were: Derecskei Sándor és Pataki Zsolt. The subtopic of the meeting was the climate change of the 21st century in agriculture.
On the first day we got to know the local school where we all found out more about the educational systems of the other participating countries. We visited the sights of the town; thus we learned about the life of Peyo Yavorov one of the most important Bulgarian poet and we also looked at the paintings of the internationally acclaimed artist, Nikola Manev.
On Tuesday we took a study trip to the Shipka peak in the Balkan Mountains. It is a climate divider between Mediterranean and continental climates. We also visited the ethnographical museum of Etar getting to know Bulgarian traditions. This is a must see to anybody who travels to Bulgaria.
The next day we paid a visit to the mayor of the host town. In the conference room the international groups presented their work carried out. There was also time for approaching the topic in a more playful way, for example we decorated the tree of life with our ideas on what we can do to reduce global warming. Finally, we also took a short trip to the cotton field and weather station of the Agricultural Research Institute.
On Thursday we traveled to Plovdiv to get to know the ancient history of the town, and we also took a trip to the famous rose gardens of the region.
The memorable project week was closed working in small groups, followed by a cultural evening where participants presented traditional folk dances and songs, The Hungarian group performed ’Spring winds bring floods’ in English and Hungarian which really matched the beautiful weather that we experienced during this March week.
