30.04.2009 Third Zlatarski School Youth Forum for Europe
In the last week of April, the Third Zlatarski School Youth Forum for Europe took place at our school. The General Assembly was held on April 30th 2009 in the school auditorium. The event was traditionally dedicated to the Europe’s Day, May 9th. More than 60 students from 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th grades participated in it. All participants, divided into 7 committees, each chaired by a senior and experienced member of the school community, debated on various political, social, ethical, cultural and environmental issues, concerning the development of the European Union and all European countries. Each committee had a topic, on which they presented a resolution. After the debates the resolutions were voted by the delegates. At the end of the event the results were announced by the jury comprising Zlatarski School teachers and alumni. Five resolutions passed successfully, and two were rejected. Holding such events has become a tradition at our school and a way of preparing the students for their future role in the European society.
