When i started this blog, along with keeping all the owners and our clients up to date with what is going on, on site i wanted to give a little flavour of our life and life in Bansko generally, in the hope it will make it a little more familiar for everyone and you get an insight to the culture here and how ordinary people live in a Bulgaria mountain resort. Previously you saw the blessing we had at the complex, to day i would like you to see our little angel Chantal first day back to school after summer and starting her 4th year classes.
Like everything in Bansko/Bulgaria, school and schooling is driven by tradition and family and the start of the new school term is an event that the kids and school spend time during the summer to prepare for. this year Chantal was asked to present the pitka bread for the 4th year classes, for this she don's traditional dress and after a mini theatre performance put on by the children, she and two other girls (one for each year group) lead the kids in to the school.the bread is representative of health, happiness and family, for all that use and work at the school. The little show performed by the kids is about nature and the animals of the woods.
Your see and feel from the brief video that, schooling remains here not only about education but the children having fun, values and traditional interaction with each other, and different from the UK and most of europe these days they are allowed to remain kids a lot longer, not a bad thing in my book.
Watch and enjoy.
