Angel Kanchev Third Secondary School
“Angel Kanchev” Third Secondary School is a modern school with confirmed traditions in education. It has got an independent and pro-active school policy within the European dimensions. The teachers stimulate the children’s willingness, concerning the Foreign Language Training, Computer Technologies and Internet applications. It is the biggest school in our city — there are 1174 students at the age from 6 to 14 in our school who are taught by 95 teachers. Currently 28 students with special educational needs attend our school and they are well integrated in classes from 1st to 7th grade.
There are two psychologists, resource teachers and a speech therapist who work with them or help students and teaching staff during the educational process. Our school is situated in a fast changing area. As the city globalizes very rapidly, we feel the need of meeting our students’ demands and we as teachers have to provide new information, new methods and give our students the opportunity to improve their skills in English. Our motivation to participate in this project is related to the fact that our city is in a tourist region, it is situated on the Black Sea coast and it is even called “The Sea Capital of Bulgaria”. We feel the need to learn more about our sea and to take a better care of it. At the same time we seek to provide our students with as many educational experiences as possible, to break the routine of everyday life at school. Through our participation in this project we aim to motivate this “digital generation” to begin to appreciate its and other counties’ natural and cultural heritage. The leading motivation for our participation in this project is to help students and teachers to raise their interest in geography, culture, nature, diversity, foreign languages, information technology and communications, multimedia, etc. This will lead to the development of a better understanding, respect and tolerance and of course new, longlasting friendships and cooperation. Building an environment awareness, protection of one of our most important treasures – water, becoming more environment friendly and protective and at the same time being creative about all that has always been our main aim that’s why we think this project fits us perfectly. During the project the key people will be the headteacher and the contact person but other teachers will have an idea by meetings. The contact person for the project will be Ivelina Petrova, a teacher of English and in case she leaves Biserka Vassileva or Genoveva Malcheva will take the role and responsibility of the project. The project team will consist of about ten teachers who teach English, Geography, Science, IT, Art. Our school has already participated in Comenius and Erasmus + projects which were highly valued. Currently we are having a great partnership in the project The Others and Us – Bridges Between Us. We think we can contribute a lot to this project with all this experience we have.
