EVALUATION & PLANNING FEEDBACK FORM

1. Please indicate the major achievement of the GEW 2007 in your country

Dissemination of ideas of GEW in Bulgaria.
Holding two seminars dealing with globalisation issues
Holding an International Competition between young people of the Balkan region about decision making connecting with Human Rights.

2. Please indicate obstacles for a sound implementation of GEW

The school year has begun from the 5 of November instead of 15 of September, because of the National teachers strike.

3. How is the GEW coordinated nationally?

Is there any official coordinating structure?

Or a Global Education national platform?

Which are your main partners at national level? And international level?

There is a structure of Youth Educational Centers in all over the country. It has a good traditional connection with schools and young people.

4. Has any website on Global Education Week activities or resources been developed in your country? If site exists please share its web-address.

Not any

5. Please report on networking and/or coordination strategies developed during the GEW (institutional level / local authorities / educational & youth structures / civil society / media)

There is not a National strategy. There is just support from the local authorities during the Week in some places and support from the Regional Pedagogical Centres.

6. After the week, any comments on the theme choice for GEW 2007 (relevance, adaptability, changes made to theme at national level, usefulness for activities with different age ranges, sectors, etc. )

The theme was really appropriated for the students. It gave theme possibility to think and act as a part of the Global world.

7. Please report, if possible, relevant quantitative results concerning the GEW in your country (i.e. number of schools - classes, pupils, teachers involved; youth organisations or groups, young people or youth workers/leaders; conferences; training events; news features; materials produced, related figures and dissemination, etc.)

Youth organization from 5 different towns
7 schools

1 competition
2 meetings devoted to the GEW
2 campaigns

8. Please report relevant qualitative information concerning the impact of the GEW in your country (i.e. type of strategies, methods, projects; reactions and suggestions by teachers, pupils, youth organisations; local communities; educational authorities, Ministry of Education; opportunities for co-operation among NGOs, teachers etc.)

The GEW has a big influence on the Local Educational Authorities, teachers, parents, and especially on the youn g people. They had been very active in the process and did realized that it is most important for the living in the global society.

9. For Global Education Week 2007,

· Is there a theme-choosing process at national level; if so, can you describe it for the benefit of other countries that do not have such a process?

· Are there any themes already emerging for the week at national level – if so, which themes?

Not already

10. Are there any existing or planned educational materials that you would like to share with the network?

11. Give concrete examples on how the North-South Center has been useful in facilitating the Global Education Week in your country;

The NSC is sending permanently a lot of information for the GEW, News Letter and different events connecting with the global issues

12. Please indicate how North-South Centre could improve its actions in supporting your work in GEW in your country and at the European level.

It would be very useful for us if the next international seminar takes a place in Bulgaria.

13. Please do suggest ideas for improving the GEW preparatory process; the GEW webpage and the Global Education Newsletter

For my personal opinion every thing is O.K.

Thank you for your co-operation!
