O P I N I O N FOR ESTEMATION OF THE PROJECT ”THE CHALLENGE OF RUNNING A SCHOOL AT 21 CENTURY: MULTICULTURALISM, INTEGRATION, PARENTS INVOLVEMENT AND IT’S INFLUENCE.”

For our Kindergarten the inclusion in the project as partners with the schools from the countries of continent Europe and the countries members of the European Union is for the first time and we can say that this participation is of exclusive importance for us. This is so in several aspects:

  • for the education of the country which is under the period of intensive changes;
  • for the activity of kindergarten;
  • for teachers qualification;
  • for better education ;
  • enrichment of the philosophy and the stand point, and for the means of these problems
  • in the total pedagogical activity.

Influenced by the experience of our partners, the work under the theme of the project as participants in different non governmental organisations, we had the opportunity to express our own opinion in the Ministry of Education and Science. As a result of which in the Instruction for the appliance of the Low for national education, during 2003 has been accepted text, which permit the Principal of the teaching unit to make team of specialists: teacher, logoped, psycholodist, special pedagog, that to work out individual education programme for children with specific needs and educational difficulties.

This created conditions for wider opportunities for organising the education activity and to expand the field of complete integration of these children in the school, in the society.

In our country 16% of the population is from the different ethnoses-Romy, Turks, Jews and others. The knowledge of the culture of the others creates conditions for understanding and respect of the unique culture of each. This creates best conditions for integration between the children and their families. The knowledge of culture the others and the own culture, create feelings of respect towards nationalities and ethnoses. It’s reflects in the behaviour and stimulates the communication.

Children acknowledged with the culture of our partners. Their visit in the Kindergarten enriched the knowledge and create feeling for nearness in the global world.

The knowledge over own culture and traditions increased the respect to it, as well as self-confidence. We have been convinced, that education can fulfill it’s obligation to society with active participation of the parents only. “The school, parents and children have to work as one good united family” – said one mother of a child from kindergarten.

What is the meaning of the project over the kindergarten:

  • -the possibility for activity in the kindergarten has increased considerably.
  • the quality of education in the kindergarten and especially for children with educational difficulties has increased to the enough level.
  • contributed much for the fruitful relations with schools from the other countries.
  • It gave enough possibilities to learn the possitive educational practise in the theme of the project as well.
  • It gave international aspects in the work of our ?indergarten.

Definitely, the work under the theme of the project in the international partnership enriched the activities of the educational process in the ODZ ? 8.

The European measurement of the work under the project compared with our National traditional level have definetely, underwritten possitive reflection over it’s activities. It gave us opportunity to see the things from new angle, with new means, and new philosophy.

In the process of the work our initial expectation have been destroyed and we have seen the problems in other dimensions.This gave us base of new ideas, which we implemented in the work.
We are considering, that the building of international projects, in which participate teaching units from different countries under the programme Socrat, subproject Comenius 1 is exclusively, useful for development of different themes for development of education activity in the educational units.This creates possibilities the problem in question to be dealt according to the national conditions and use the possitive experience of our partners,which often brings new ideas.

We want to say “Thank you” to everybody who helped us to realize the project.
