The flag of Bulgaria (Bulgarian: знаме на България, romanized: zname na Bǎlgariya) is a tricolour consisting of three equal-sized horizontal bands of (from top to bottom) white, green, and red. The flag was first adopted after the 1877–1878 Russo-Turkish War, when Bulgaria gained de facto independence. The national flag at times was charged with the state emblem, especially during the communist era. The current flag was re-established with the 1991 Constitution of Bulgaria and was confirmed in a 1998 law.

Our school is the biggest one in the region. We work with approximately 600 students from 7 to 18 years old. They learn three foreign languages: English, Russian and German. The other leading subjects are: Bulgarian language and Literature, Geography, History, Social Studies, Biology, Maths, Science, ICT, Art and Physical Education. They also participate in various extracurricular activities, such as: dancing club, drama club, different sport clubs, and charity organizations. They usually take part in some national and international competitions and projects.

Teaching at  Secondary School has always been challenging — not only because of the competitive learning environment, but also because of the high requirements for both students and teachers. The teachers use proven modern educational systems and perform their duties professionally. English teachers are exceptionally well acquainted with the culture and traditions of the English–speaking nations. As a result, their students learn something much more than simple English language and their classes turn into an engaging study they never forget.

Nová Role was originally settled by Czech farmers sometime in the 13th century. When ores of various metals were discovered in the nearby mountains, the Czech rulers invited German colonists to the Ore Mountains and the Czech population became a minority. This state of affairs continued even when the independent Czechoslovak Republic separated from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. That is why there was only a German school in Nová Rola. Czech children attended the German school or had to commute to the Czech school elsewhere. The first mention of a Czech school dates back to 1929. At the beginning, 17 children were enrolled.

# data[].attributes.body
Nová Role is situated at the foot of the Krušné Mountains near the regional town, the world-famous spa Karlovy Vary. Nová Role is the seventh oldest settlement in the Karlovy Vary region. The first written record of Nová Role (Nowa Raluna) dates back to 1293. According to an unsubstantiated legend, as early as the 12th century, a hunting pavilion stood by the river in Nová Role for the royal staff accompanying the Czech rulers who stayed at the nearby Loket Castle. The oldest historical monument of the town is the Church of St. Michael the Archangel. This is a valuable Romanesque-Gothic monument. Today Nová Role has more than 4100 inhabitants. Nová Role is mainly known for the production of porcelain in the Karlovarský porcelán a. s. Thun factory. Hiking and cycling trails pass through Nová Role and continue to Saxony, Germany.

My students participating this project are 14 years old. I have taken part in eTwinning and also Erasmus+ projects. I think projects make our school life more fascinating and exciting. If it was possible I would quit teaching national curriculum and teach only through projects. Projects give students real possibilities to use the foreign language and lots of more useful things.

Greece, officially the Hellenic Republic, is a country in Southeast Europe, situated on the southern tip of the Balkan peninsula. The Aegean Sea lies to the east of the mainland, the Ionian Sea to the west, and the Sea of Crete and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. Greece has the longest coastline on the Mediterranean Basin, featuring thousands of islands.

Greece is considered the cradle of Western civilization, being the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, Western literature, historiography, political science, major scientific and mathematical principles, theatre and the Olympic Games.

The Flag of Greece changed many times throughout history. It is today recognized by the blue and white colors on it. Often referred to as the "blue-white", the present flag is based on nine horizontal stripes of blue alternating with white. On the top left, there is a blue square canton with a white cross, a symbol of Greek Orthodoxy, the established religion of the Greeks. According to tradition, the nine stripes represent the nine syllables of the phrase "Freedom or Death" (E-le-fthe-ri-a i Tha-na-tos in Greek), the motto of the Greek Revolution. The blue and white colors have been identified as the traditional colors of Greece: blue symbolizes the sky and the sea, white symbolizes the clouds and the waves.

Jablunkov (Czech pronunciation: [ˈjabluŋkof] ; Polish: , German: Jablunkau) is a town in Frýdek-Místek District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 5,300 inhabitants. The town has a significant Polish minority. It is inhabited by a large amount of Silesian Gorals.

Lomná River in Jablunkov

Jablunkov is located about 31 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of Frýdek-Místek and 42 km (26 mi) southeast of Ostrava. It lies in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia, and is the easternmost town of the country. It is located mainly in the Jablunkov Furrow lowland, but the municipal territory also extends to the Silesian Beskids on the east. The highest point is the hill Lysá at 544 m (1,785 ft) above sea level.

Jablunkov lies at the confluence of the Lomná and Olza rivers.

Town hall

According to historians, the predecessor of Jablunkov is to be found in the place where the present-day village of Hrádek or Nýdek is located. The first written mention of Jablunkov is from 1435. After the village was destroyed by a Hungarian raid at least in 1447, a new settlement emerged, and the previous settlement was renamed Old Jablunkov.

This settlement was primordially named Jablonka and as such it was mentioned as a seat of a Catholic parish in the register of Peter's Pence payment from 1447 among 50 parishes of Teschen deanery. Politically it belonged to the Duchy of Teschen, a fee of the Kingdom of Bohemia which was since 1526 a part of the Habsburg monarchy. In 1560 Wenceslaus III Adam, Duke of Cieszyn, granted Jablunkov town privileges. It continuously developed and in 1596 it had a mayor and a town council.

The town profited from its location on an ancient trade route going from the Mediterranean Sea to the Baltic Sea. The route was used by merchants of ancient Rome; frequent discoveries of Roman coins confirm that. Important trading routes to Kraków (north) and to Upper Hungary (east) also run through the town. It became more and more important and also rich, as many citizens lived by trading. In the 1640s it had 750 inhabitants, together with a suburb and the village of Písečná. In the 18th century most of citizens worked in trade, craftsmanship and farming. At the end of the 19th century, many new buildings were built. A new Art Nouveau town hall was built in 1905.

After Revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire a modern municipal division was introduced in the re-established Austrian Silesia. The town became a seat of a legal district in the political district of Cieszyn. According to the censuses conducted in 1880-1910 the population of the municipality grew from 2,988 in 1880 to 3,459 in 1910 with the majority being native Polish-speakers (dropping from 89.4% in 1880 to 84.4% in 1910) accompanied by German-speaking minority (growing from 9.2% in 1880 to 14.1% in 1910) and Czech-speaking people (at most 57 or 1.5% in 1910). In terms of religion in 1910 the majority were Roman Catholics (88.5%), followed by Protestants (9.2%), Jews (90 or 2.3%) and 2 people adhering to another faiths.

After World War I, Polish-Czechoslovak War and the division of Cieszyn Silesia in 1920, it became a part of Czechoslovakia. Following the Munich Agreement, in October 1938 together with the Trans-Olza region it was annexed by Poland, administratively adjoined to Cieszyn County of Silesian Voivodeship. It was then annexed by Nazi Germany at the beginning of World War II. After the war it was restored to Czechoslovakia.

An old monastery of the Order of Saint Elisabeth with a hospital was built in 1853-1855, a chapel was added in 1861. It was located near the Olza River and was frequently flooded. A decision was taken to build a new one. The construction started in 1928 and it began operating in 1932. In 1948 the monastery and its properties were seized by the Communists, who forbade the further induction of new sisters. Former Elizabethan sisters were ordered to work in a state farm with cattle. In 1989, after the fall of communism, it was returned to the Elizabethan sisters. The monastery in Jablunkov is one of only three Elizabethan monasteries in the Czech Republic, the other two being in Prague and Brno.

Polish minority makes up 16.4% of the population.

The sanatorium

There is a lung sanatorium in Jablunkov.

Jablunkov is home to an ethnographic group known as Silesian Gorals. The most popular cultural event is the annual Gorolski Święto (literally "Goral's Festival"). It organized every year since 1947 by the Polish Cultural and Educational Union and is the second oldest folklore festival in the Czech Republic. It is a showcase of local Polish folklore and traditions that attracts visitors from all of Europe.

Fountain with statue of the Immaculate Virgin Mary

The most important landmarks are the historic town square with a fountain and statue of the Virgin Mary from 1655, the Roman Catholic church built in 1620 and rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style, and the Elizabethan Monastery from 1928-1932.

The sanatorium building dates from 1933-1935 and is a valuable landmark of modern architecture. It is surrounded by a park with an arboretum founded in 1924, most species were added in 1937. After its completion in 1938 it contained about a thousand species, varieties and forms of woody plants, of which 400 taxa of conifers. Today it has more than 500 species of trees and shrubs. Several sculptures created by Vincenc Makovský and Jan Tříska are also located in the park.

Oskar Zawisza (1878-1933), Polish priest and composer

Rudolf Paszek (1894-1969), Polish teacher and politician; mayor of Jablunkov in 1932-1938

Karol Piegza (1899-1988), Polish writer and folklorist; lived and died here

Hi, I'm Yuliia Sotula. My hobbies are travelling, cooking, going to the theatre. I like learning and teaching. I take the project as an opportunity for the students and for me to move somewhere, to find out how teachers and students are doing in other parts of the world. I believe that eTwinning projects promote exchange of ideas, deeper intercultural knowledge as well as collaboration between schools in Europe. In this framework we have seen that students are motivated and inspired to search in order to learn and in this way improve their learning skills in a variety of subjects. Moreover the use of web.02 tools (IT) in class to carry out these projects is extremely beneficial for both students and teachers who are citizens of a changing world.
