On December 17, 2025, within the framework of the project “Promoting Intercultural Education through Culture, Science and Sport in Dolna Mitropolia Municipality”, implemented under procedure BG05SFPR001-1.004 “Promoting Intercultural Education through Culture, Science and Sport” and funded by the Education Programme 2021–2027, a Christmas ritual was held.
The event took place at St. St. Cyril and Methodius Primary School in the village of Stavertsi, with the participation of parents and an educational mediator from the Roma community. Children and adults spent meaningful time together, sharing stories, traditions, and customs related to the Christmas holiday.
The activity contributed to strengthening the relationship between the school and families, encouraging intercultural dialogue, and fostering an inclusive and supportive educational environment.
Such activities are essential for promoting intercultural dialogue and building trust between schools, families, and the local community. By celebrating traditions together and sharing cultural heritage, opportunities are created for mutual understanding, respect for diversity, and active parental involvement in the educational process, which is a key factor for children’s successful social inclusion and development.
