Еxtracurricular catch up activities in the ZOV-region of Plovdiv

2018-06-30

TEST

In the period January – June 2018, the extracurricular catch up activities in Bulgarian and some basic subjects continued in Kuklen as planned. 29 new children were enrolled in the educational institutions in Plovdiv and 97 were actively engaged in after-school work on Bulgarian language.

In order to increase children’s interest in learning, ZOV teachers employed various teaching methods such as didactic and mobile games, competitive games, quizzes, theatrical sketches and entire plays - eg. The Granddad's Glove, The Red Riding Hood, The Little Guest of Peter the Smart, The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats, etc.

Educational mediators helped hugely in organizing cultural events visits by coordinating the transfer of 390 children to the events venues and then supporting logistically the stay of spectators at the theatre. The children had attended the city’s cultural venues for the first time thanks to the project and as a result they would promote the visits to cultural events in their community and among their friends.

312 parents attended meetings and events and 475 children participated in catch up and and art and sports classes. 454 children and parents attended cultural events (theater and concerts) and 188 participated in sports activities. As part of an open lesson held in the presents of local parents, the mediator Zinaida Karagiozova has actively worked with the parents to get them involved in the educational activities along with their children.

Refurbishment of “Alen Mak” Kindergarten in village Zvezdets

2016-09-15

Since September 2016, 25 children visit the fully refurbished full-day kindergarten “Alen Mak” in village Zvezdets. The facility is a one-storey building with partial ground-level space, of total area 327 sq.m.

The building was heat-proofed, the roof was replaced and a new air- and water heating system was installed. Playgrounds were organized with up-to-date playing equipment, and the area around the kindergarten was landscaped. The kindergarten has new furniture: children's beds, sideboards, bookcases, tables, chairs and benches.

Within the frame of the project we planned to repair the kindergarten in village Zvezdets but the activities involved virtually amounted to a newbuilding, given the scope of the work involved: new roofing, new steel plate to serve as foundation of the structure, repaired heating installation. The old building that was inacceptable as a facility intended to host and educate children 5 – 6 years old was, in fact, replaced by a new modern kindergarten.

A new building for “Hristo Botev” Primary School in Burgas

2016-09-30

As of 2016/2017 school year, 90 children of 5 and 6 years old and 55 children of 7 and 8 years old will be able to attend the full-day activities organized in the newly built annexe, intended for preschool and elementary-school classes in “Hristo Botev” Primary School in Pobeda neighbourhood in Burgas. The neighbourhood has never had a kindergarten facility until now and the rooms for extracurricular activities for pupils from the first school grades have been insufficient.

The building is of total area of 870.7 sq.m. The first floor hosts classrooms and a gym, which the school has never had until now. The second floor hosts the rooms for the preparatory-school groups, a medical office and teaching-consultancy room, speech-therapist and psychologist offices and a room for work with parents.

The members of the project team visited 150 families of Roma and Turkish origin, to motivate them to send their children to school.
