Program Details:

Our Saturday camp integrates LEGO Education projects into our Spanish language curriculum, offering an engaging and enjoyable language immersion experience. This approach not only strengthens vocabulary and grammar but also enhances communication skills, real-world problem-solving abilities, and teamwork, making the learning process both memorable and enjoyable.

The camp is structured around project-based activities. As students construct LEGO models, we introduce and reinforce related vocabulary. We further enrich the experience with storytelling and role-playing, helping students apply their language skills in real-life scenarios and build lasting friendships.

Each project concludes with oral presentations in the classroom, allowing children to demonstrate what they have learned, improve their pronunciation, and build confidence in using the language in public.

In addition to classroom activities, we incorporate outdoor time. When weather permits, some sessions will take place in the safe and secure environment of Sofia Tech Park.

STASY : IN SOFIA CANNES BARCELONA

I’ve had a lot of fun to myself these days since the thought occurred to me that even I have something in common with Nicole Kidman. Apart from a man in my past who fancied her in his dreams and me in reality, the other thing we have in common is that we’ve both stood in front of Stasy Kara’s camera and microphone. And what is it that connects me and Stasy? Now that I come to think of it, nothing but fun and memorable moments. Continue Reading

Marta: a mother from Spain in Bulgaria

Mama española en Bulgaria is a blog which is a pleasure to follow. The girl behind it is a mother of two children from Spain who shares her impressions of our country, often comparing them to how things are in Barcelona. Despite being written in the Spanish language, the blog is gathering more and more popularity in Bulgaria too, which proves to be something strange and unexpected for its author. The probable cause of this is the fun opportunity which she gives us to see a side-on view of ourselves and to laugh out loud about stuff from our everyday lives which we’re so used to that it doesn’t even occur to us how strange these things might seem to someone on the outside. Apart from that, Marta often writes about things she likes really very much in Bulgaria and which made her stay here. So, who exactly is this Marta?

Nicolas: A conversation over a cup of Yerba Mate

I got to know Nicolas about a year ago. We worked together really only very briefly. Just long enough for me to realise that he isn’t actually from Spain, but from Argentina, that he has a special attitude towards reading and writing as well as the fact that he really missed Mate tea in Sofia. I invited him to this blog even before it existed and Nicolas entrusted me with total confidence and responded without even knowing what exactly he was getting into. We managed to make the ‘conversation over a Yerba Mate’ happen after dozens of delays and having to hunt down the most authentic possible gourds and straws. In the end we managed to get it done just before he moved to live in Brussels. I think we’ll see him here again, though, because I had the constant feeling that Nico really likes Sofia.

FRIENDS: ASSEN

Аssen is one of the most precious things I’ve inherited from the Spanish High School. A truly dear person to me, whom I’ve been proud to call ‘friend’ for 20 years already. We’re linked by one of those undemanding friendships in which communication can come to a standstill for a year or two after which we meet and share our most coveted secrets just as if we’d never parted for a moment. Currently he has established himself in a U.S. university where he teaches Spanish language to students specialising in ‘Latin American Literature and Culture’; he travels, publishes, researches the connections between cinema, literature and sexuality in the countries of the southern hemisphere and he does all this with incredible ease but also with great passion, which he transmits to his students and friends. Here I share a conversation about his journey from the Spanish High School to the bookshops of Buenos Aires and in general about some of the things we love and which connect us. Continue Reading
