European, global and intercultural dimension in curriculum development

Comenius sectoral programme is the most popular opportunity for enriching the education environments, namely intercultural and foreign language training and teaching, through transfer of knowledge and good practice from colleagues abroad.

The majority of education institutions in Bulgaria focus on exploiting the opportunities for curriculum development through exchange of staff. However, in recent years a tendency is being observed for engaging in long term partnerships for development of lasting education products that can be used nation wide.
