"IN MY SCHOOL - WITH MY FRIENDS” - THE PROJECT, WHICH ENGAGED MOST PARTICIPANTS FROM PGEE


In 2008 started the project "In my school - with my friends." The aim of this project was to create an attractive image of school life and conditions for successful social realization of the students, to create in them a sense of belonging to the school and its traditions and especially to organize their free time through various forms of extracurricular training. In the project the opportunity for personal expression and development of potential and talent of each student was given.
The objectives of the project corresponded with the objectives of the Operational Program "Human Resources Development”, and in particular those of the priority directive "Improving access to education and training”. They were directed to absorb and use knowledge and skills in order to enhance individual development and growth of students, and the ability to work as a team in research and innovation. Achieving these goals made school life richer, fuller and more attractive, and gave direction to the leisure time of students.
The project also developed the following activities:
• Strengthening and modernization of school traditions and developing a system for rewarding and morally stimulating talented students. Forming the representative group of the school.
• Work on a Youth Media Center, which includes the issuance of the electronic newspaper of the school, organization of thematic photographic competitions, development of advertising materials for the school - brochures, videos, flyers, and more.
• Work in the Young constructor club, who also worked in three little cars, driven by energy saving sources of energy (a wind generator and a photovoltaic system).  Bike racks for the students use were built.
Students joined with enormous desire in the implementation of this project: 153 pupils and 20 teachers were engaged during the school year.
At first direction Develop scenarios to celebrate national holidays and school celebrations colleagues engaged in this activity, together with representatives from the students board, and they prepared scenarios to celebrate the patron holiday, and all other school holidays.
For the first time, and this was especially interesting for young people,  a training drill for the representative group of the school was held. After the participants were selected special uniforms were made for them, which they received from the Director during a special celebration. The uniforms emblem is the logo of the school and of this project.
The Pedagogy Board officially approved the System for rewarding and moral stimulation of outstanding students.


In Youth Media Center a group of 20 students worked on the issue of the school electronic newspaper «Integral», which was released in 9 issues, reflecting actual events in the life of the school, the city and also national level initiatives.
In this direction  photo and video clubs worked as well. Students and their teachers organized a photographic exhibition entitled "My Town - a modern European city," "Holidays through my lens" and "Life in the school through photographs and collages”. To prepare for the third exhibition students familiarized themselves with programs for making collages.
Club “e-TV" made a video devoted to the Patron holiday, issued a newspaper "ETV", devoted to 164 - anniversary of the born of Kapitan Petko voyvoda (the school patron) and finished an animated video about the life of a hero.

Work in the club "Young constructor” was separated into five groups. In each of them students are familiarized with the use of alternative energy sources and opportunities for saving electricity, with normative basis for energy efficiency in Bulgaria and the European Union. They prepared the models of:
  • "Solar installation";
  • "Solar car (with electric properties drive and accumulator);
  • "Ecobell;
  • "Wind Turbine",

All participants in different activities and groups received certificates for participation in the project.
On 13 and 14 June 2009  a trip to Varna for a pilgrimage to the grave of Kaptain Petko voyvoda was held. In the tour  students from a representative group and outstanding participants from the other working groups of the project were included. The selection was made by the heads of criteria prepared in advance.
Successful completion of the project is a step towards personal development of students, it gave properties a meaning to their free time and allowed them to generate new knowledge and techniques that make them more adaptable to developments in their education, and consequently in the professional field of their realization. Participation of students in project activities changed their idea about the school and made it a desirable area.
