Posts & News 12 May 2022

In May, students from our coordinating partner English Language School "Geo Milev" in Bulgaria, took the EcoPodcasts project on an exciting trip to the European Parliament in Brussels, accompanied by the school principal Mrs. Zhaklin Mutafyan-Neycheva and the deputy principal Mrs. Krassimira Miteva.

The group took part in the last meeting of another great Erasmus+ project, "FETE: From Eurodivison to Eurovision" and introduced the EcoPodcasts project to their partners from that project. The audience was impressed by the enthusiasm of the students from Bulgaria and the ideas for good ecological practices presented. There was great interest from their part to also implement those practices in their schools!

During the visit, the students could also talk about the EcoPodcasts project with the Finnish MEP Sirpa Pietikainen and with the Bulgarian MEP and President of the International European Movement (IEM) Eva Maidel. In the conversation with the MEPs, the students talked about the benefits of Erasmus+ and the importance of spreading awareness of environmentally friendly living as a part of European values.
