| Abstract: | With regard to the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union, in the beginning of 2018 the National Association of the Municipalities in Republic of Bulgaria launched a call for proposals under the Grant 'Support of the Municipal Initiatives Related to the Local Dimension of the Bulgarian Presidency in 2018'. The Municipality of Kostenets proposed and implemented the project 'Raising Awareness of the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the European Union' with the participation of a team formed by students and teachers from 'Georgi Sava Rakovski' Vocational High School. The activities of the team included: 1) research of information about the European Union and the Bulgarian Presidency; 2) project based teaching, where students and teachers learnt together about the role of the European funds for the development of Kostenets Municipality; 3) active citizenship through students' participation in discussions about global and local issues with a member of the European Parliament, the town mayor and municipality experts. The project gave opportunities to the students to understand and experience the dimensions of the glocal education, to appreciate the citizenship not only as consumers' privileges but also as personal responsibilities, to raise their awareness for the global issues and to believe that each of them can contribute to the common good at local and global level.
