“Syznanie” is a non-government organisation working towards the adoption of alternative educational methods in Bulgaria.
Following the best of the European practices, we develop study programmes based on the living methodology – learning through experiencing. We stimulate children to make their own discoveries and to experiment. We encourage them to analyse their own experiences and to develop new skills and ways of thinking.
We are trying to find creative potential in each child while avoiding any set frameworks of what is right or wrong, ugly or beautiful. Our goal is for the children to express themselves in their unique creative ways.
We create a stable supportive environment for the children in disadvantageous position, through extra-curriculum educational programmes and courses in a stimulating creative environment.
Our main activities are related to social and educational themes focusing on marginal groups, human rights education, and emotions expression. We are trying to use art and music to express someone’s feelings, to understand our selves, to connect with the others and to the outside word. We are training to make nature part of our work and educational process and to stress the importance of health and environment in daily base life.
