	What do you know about the partner countries?
Doncho Tachkov – a teacher of History	I am a teacher of History of Bulgaria and these countries are all related somehow to the history of Bulgaria. These countries have great traditions, customs and culture. Romania achieved independence, however, until after the end of the Russian-Turkish War in 1877. The Bulgarian community argue that they are about 250 000 in Romania. Bulgarian population is indigenous in South Romania /North Dobrudja/. In 1867, after unsuccessful attempts to reform the Austrian Empire was transformed into the Austro-Hungary. A kingdom of Hungary is a substantial internal autonomy and equal rights in the administration of the empire. Both parts of the monarchy (Austria-Hungary) became independent in domestic terms. In 1923, Turkey was proclaimed a republic. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk carried out a fundamental change in the Turkish.There were European type of life.Islyam was separated,the Latin alphabet was instead of Arabic. Women have a right out loud. Later Mustafa Kemal adopted the name Ataturk (Father of Turkish). Poland is an ancient country. Until the 18 th century Poland was one of the major powers of medieval Europe. Later the country was shared by Prussia, Russia and Austria. Lost its independence to the First World War. Impressive is the participation of Polish in the army of Napoleon against Prussia. Highly respected in Poland is Pope John Paul II, this, who destroyed communism and reconcile the world's religions.
Radka Klaklova – a teacher from Primary school / II-st grade/	Romania and Turkey are our neighbors, and Poland and Hungary are the countries in Europe. Romania, Poland and Hungary are the countries of the European Union and we hope Turkey to join soon. The capital of Poland is Warsaw. In this country, the mountain is a beautiful Carpathian Mountains and the Visla River, which runs through almost a whole country and flows near the town of Gdansk. Turkey is a bridge between Southeast Europe and Western Asia. Asian and European parts are separated by the Sea of Marmara and the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits. Hungary is located in the Carpathian basin and is crossed by the Danube. Budapest is a beautiful capital city. Lake Baikal is known in Europe and beyond.The Romanian border with Bulgaria is Danube River. The biggest mountain is Carpathian Mountains. The most famous cities in Romania are Bucharest, Constanta and Craiova.

It has rich history content and a lot of beautiful tourist sides to visit. Its capital is Budapest. Romania- this country is popular because of…..the Graf Dracula’s Castle. It’s really interesting place for the deluded people. Also it’s border is our country – Bulgaria.. We share Black sea with Romania. Poland- The smooth road and the pains are the characteristic for Poland. The capital is Warsaw. But one of the most beautiful towns is Gdansk. The architecture and the amber were maybe the best thing I have never seen. I was in Malbork Castle. The history of this place is amazing.. I heard so interesting stories about Hitler and Second World War.

Diana– a student from X class / 16 years/	My knowledge of each country are not very big, but I hope during the course of the project to learn many new things about each country. Hungary is located in Northeastern Europe. The capital is Budapest.The lake Balaton is located there. I think that in 1526 Turkish were defeated by Hungarians at Mohach. Romania is located in Eastern Europe. Her capital is Bucharest. In Bucharest is the second largest building in the world - the Parliament. Our country has much in common with this country and last but not least is that both countries joined the European Union together. Our southern neighbor Turkey has a European part and Asian part,but Asian is bigger one. Islam is the official religion in Turkey. The capital is Ankara, but the largest city is Istanbul.
	Do you know what golden section is?
Doncho Tachkov – a teacher of History	I know that is a mathematical basis. For the first time I heard more about this phenomenon from the presentation of the project and now I'm sure that most of the mysteries of the existence of ancient civilizations and related monuments and discoveries are made in relation to the concept of Golden section.
Radka Klaklova – a teacher from Primary school / II-st grade/	I read the book “ Da Vinci Code” and know about this issue from there. I understand that this phenomenon is found in all parts of life. It is so interesting and very exciting.
Natalia- student from IX class / 15 years/	The Golden Ratio /also known as golden proportion, golden coefficient/ is irrational number which express ratio in parts for whom the smaller part is relevant to the bigger part like the bigger to the whole. It’s marking with the Greek letter „Ф” and it’s value is 1,618…. The golden ratio is not only mathematical term, its symbol for beauty, harmony and perfection in the art, science and nature. The term “golden ratio” is bringing by Leonardo de Vince’s as a proportion for the “ perfect human body”.
Plamena – a student from IX class / 15 years/	In the Fibonacci sequence of numbers each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. The d\golden ratio is 1,618….
Diana– a student from X class / 16 years/	I had not heard of "Golden section " before we get acquainted with the project. Now I realized that this is succession / series / of numbers that occur in different parts of our life. This is the number 1.618 ... and is denoted by „Ф” . It is something inexplicable, illogical, mysteriously for me personally and very, very interesting.
	What activities do you think we will do together?
Doncho Tachkov – a teacher of History	I think we will work on any part of the project in each school and then we will share opinions with our partners during the meetings. We will have practical sessions. We will speak on school issues in the schools where we work. We will enrich our knowledge of individual countries, their traditions and habits. We will improve our English. We can make a product that we can introduce to a wider audience.

Later to produce presentations with features in the architecture of the country, with features of music and dances, with examples of fauna and flora of the country. And why not have fun and be fun!
