Getting to Know Bulgaria 🇧🇬

10.11.2022

Hi, we met Tedi after Kalo. Tedi and our ESC volunteers told us another useful training for Sara and me. The subject was about getting to know Bulgaria and its socio-cultural characteristics better. Tedi also brought some interesting traditional objects and the book "Köse Bose" to visualize their culture and the most popular Bulgarian children's literature.

She gave such good information about Bulgaria that I fell in love with Bulgaria 🤩

I would like to tell you briefly what Tedi told us. Bulgaria is a country located on the Balkans side. It borders Serbia and Macedonia in the west, the Black Sea in the east, Romania in the north, Greece in the south, and Turkey in the southeast. Bulgaria is the 16th largest country in Europe with a surface area of ​​110,994 square kilometers.
