LIFELONG LEARNING PROGRAMME - COMENIUS ASSISTANTSHIPS
Selection 2009


Mr. Markus Ulbricht, teaching assistant of German language, arrived in PGEE at the end of September 2010. Mr Ulbricht’s residence in Kardzhali is within the Sector Programme Comenius assistantship. The purpose of the programme is to motivate students to learn German and to improve their language skills. Mr. Ulbricht will also participate in extra curricular activities for the pupils of our vocational school.
In their interaction with the assistant, the teachers from PGEE gain valuable knowledge about the German education system and exchange ideas on different teaching methods and innovative techniques.
      Marcus comes from the beautiful town of Jena, a large university town in Thuringia, Germany. He is studying History and Latin at Leipzig University to become a qualified teacher. His position with PGEE Kardzhali, Bulgaria, is working within the Comenius Programme which is a good opportunity for him to get accustomed to a different type of system used for teacher training as well as to gain experience within the profession.
