Summary of my Week by Vittoria

On the first day we spoke together with our Bulgarian and Portuguese friends of the naturalistic itinerary; for example of the parks,of the Sycamore Alley and of the Botunya River.

On the second day we spoke about of the food itinerary, and together with my classmates we discovered new Bulgarian recipes.

Finally on the third day we spoke about of the folk itinerary; on this last day our Bulgarian friends taught us they danced their traditional dance.

We also had meetings at school where for example we learned to write our name in Bulgarian.

Giulia here

This week, we participated in some video calls on Erasmus.

We saw some traditional costumes, traditional food and traditional dances of Bulgaria and Portogallo.

We have also learned the Bulgarian alphabet. It was very interesting!

GIULIA

I really liked the Erasmus project. I have great memories from Portugal. For example the time we went to the pool during the SPA experience. But my favourite moment was in Italy when we played that special game. To win we had to run around the city and this is how we explored it also it was a lot of fun. It is a pitty that students and teachers from Italy and Portugal couldn’t come to Bulgaria. Exploring another country is a great adventure and I am so sorry that my Portugal and Italian friends couldn’t come to Bulgaria.

Hi!

The experience in both of the countries was amazing! In the beginning, I didn’t feel well but the other days I was so happy. The places we visited were incredible! Also the people that we slept in were so kind. These two holidays were very different than the other holidays I’ve had. But really there were no bad things I could talk about. I’m sad that covid hit and the other students can’t come here to visit our town. But in my opinion, some day they will come here, matter what.

Stefani here

The project was very interesting and funny. I am very happy because I had a chance to be in it. We learned a lot of things from our traditions, food, alphabet and dances. We watched videos from our countries. I found friends from Portugal and Italy and I was writing to them. I am sorry that you cannot come here, but I hope to see each other again face to face.

Stefani Konovska

Preslav Here

In this project I learned a lot about Fiuggi’s history, traditions and food. I didn’t like the food very much because there wasn’t much meat in it . But I liked the things we were doing. I’m sorry that my new friends can’t come, I wanted to show them the Bulgarian food.

Overall experience by Martin

This week was very exciting. I got the chance to see my friends from Portugal and Italy even online and they got to learn about the Bulgarian culture, alphabet, customs and traditions. I want to say thank you to my teachers, that I had the chance to visit these beautiful countries and to meet these wonderful people.

Teachers from Portugal and Italy are very nice and friendly. I feel special that I got the chance to be part of this project. I hope to see all of them face to face one day.

Once again, thank you.

Martin Denchev

Konstantin’s farewell to the project

The project was very nice. I saw my friends, I wrote to them. I asked them how they were and what they were doing. During the days we read, we showed you our traditions, we taught you our alphabet, you wrote your names in Bulgarian. We had fun all the time, even though we were online. I hope to see you again.

Konstantin Petrov

My hopes

This week, at home and in class, we had six student meeting, I learned many things of the Bulgarian traditions and I liked it so much.

My name

Friday, in class, we saw the Bulgarian alphabet: there are different letters so it's very difficult to learn (my name in Bulgarian is Карим).

Karim

How can we recycle masks during covid

We could use them as rings for example

Let me gather some thoughts

Giulia’s opinion

Yesterday we talked about the Bulgarian folk path. I found particularly interesting the costumes that are used during the "parties".

The "party" that I found most interesting is that of colored necklaces.

1st. day...

Yesterday, I think the activities went well, even with some internet problems, but we were able to hear the other students and teachers from Italy and Bulgaria.

With the activities, I learned a little about the traditions of Bulgaria and specifically Varshets, I also found out more about their city and I think it is a fantastic place to stay on vacation and relax with its great waters.

I really enjoy being with my friends from other countries again and I knew they were fine.

Uff ... So cold !!!

I really enjoyed getting to know the Bulgarian traditions.

This first session was very productive and we saw different traditions and cultures.

I was shocked when they told us that they dive into frozen water.

Day 4 - thoughts

Good afternoon, this is my comment :

Today I like the traditions of this nation, Bulgaria. Particularly I like the "day of the forgiveness", because I find it very important above all for young people, because sometimes we don’t say sorry for our pride. It was a very interesting lesson!

Giorgia M.

What I leaned

Bulgaria is divided into 4 parts (regions) each part has its own uses, customs, traditions and dance. There are several types of foods:

Airan (drink)

Soups are famous in Bulgaria :

MY COMMENT IS ITALIAN... LET'S SEE IF YOU CAN GET IT!

Delle immagini e dei testi che abbiamo visto oggi in classe penso che la cultura bulgara sia molto strana, ci sono molte festività carine e divertenti🥳... ma altre sono da veri pazzi!!!

Quella che mi è piaciuta di più è stata l'evento nel quale il sacerdote lanciava una croce nel fiume e gli uomini si spogliavano e si lanciavano subito in acqua per riprenderla, si dice che chi riesce a prenderla sia il più forte del gruppo

Un'altra che mi è piaciuta è stata quella della ragazzina, della nostra età, vestita con le vestaglie e dei fiori, a circondarla c'erano una banda di uomini che cantava e suonava in tutto il paese, per poi arrivare sulle sponde di un fiume nel quale la ragazza lancia i fiori in acqua.

Ma quella che mi ha impressionato di più è stata quella dove le persone camminano e ballano sui pezzi di legno incandescenti!?!

other legends and traditions

The other ancient tradition, is those where a man and a woman walk barefoot on little pieces of wood fiery, between the night of Saint Constantine and Saint Helena, this is the rite of Nestinarstvois.

For another belief, on 23rd of June, in the middle of the summer, during dawn, those who see their shadow straight, will have luck for the rest of the year, and those who see half of their shadow , must take a bath in a river to have luck.

Luca and Gianmarco speaking here

Today I liked that in Italy for carnival we give eggs instead they exchange flour, beans and other things but eggs for something similar at Easter

GIANMARCO

Bulgaria is very beautiful because the tradition is very good. the costumes are very funny because the masks are strage.

LUCA

My personal view on today's virtual experience... by Nicola

an old Bulgarian's ritual is the "fire walk", when a person walks on embers' fiery bed, goes beyond his limits to connect with his body and mind.

for me this festivity is beautiful because you are able to face your fears

THE DOLL AND OTHER ANCIENT BELIEFS BY CRISTIAN

Bulgarian traditions are beautiful and remarkable, especially those folkloristic. I liked above all “the doll” tradition, where the people drop a flower bunch in a river, and the person who takes it, will become a godmother. In this traditions, there are a lot of ancient beliefs, and they are very interesting.
