Description of Our Community: Bulgaria is a small country in southeastern Europe. It is located on the Balkan peninsula. Bulgaria’s relief is diverse. The most notable topographical features are the Danubian Plain, the Balkan Mountains, the Thracian Plain, and the Rhodope Mountains. The Thracian Plain is roughly triangular, beginning southeast of Sofia (the capital city) and broadening as it reaches the Black Sea coast. It is the largest global producer of perfumery essential oils such as lavender and rose oil. Of the services sector, tourism is the most significant contributor to economic growth. In recent years, Bulgaria has emerged as a travelling destination with its inexpensive resorts and beaches outside the reach of the tourist industry. Bulgaria is not well economically developed. It is characterized by its multi-ethnic and multiconfessional society – Orthodox, Catholics, Protestants, Muslims and Armenians. A great number of people have emigrated to other European countries and the USA. One of the major problems is that young people who graduate from university do not go back to Bulgaria. "Nikola Vaptsarov" Foreign Language High School consists of 700 students at the age of 14-18. The education is concentrated on learning foreign languages including English, German, Russian and French by helping students to improve their ability to communicate with and understand other cultures. One of the main priorities of our school is developing and implementing project proposals which help to introduce successfully modern pedagogical and methodological approaches. The active participation of teachers and students in the project contributes to students’ personal development, abilities, skills and their talents.
Project Description: As part of the GlobalSchoolNet.org, we are proud to represent our country in front of the world. The aim of this project is to share some of the rock phenomena in Bulgaria. You will be able to appreciate the country’s natural attractions: the Stone Forest, the Eyes of God, the Wonderful Rocks and the Marvelous Bridges. By expecting these rarities, we learned more about their formation and location.By creating this site we wanted to make people interested in wanting to visit Bulgaria and in this way contribute to the development of our country’s economy and local businesses.
