It all started with just an idea. Are we, Europeans, so different from each others? Do we have common points?

Then a title arrived: S.A.M.E. and words to define each letter: Similitudes.Attitudes. Motivation. Emotions. It was inspired from a class reality. My class, your class, everybody s class.

Lots of similarities between our students, lots of common attitudes towards learning, school challenges, lots of emotions towards test papers, exams, school life in general. What motivate all of us in learning, in going before, in accepting us as we are , in accepting the others and collaborate for better results?

Then finding partners, people who share the same idea: open teachers who want to learn from each other, to share ideas, experiences, who are not afraid to involve their students in a new European experience of knowing each other, accepting and capitalize themselves and the others.

A short message on Etwinning and we are a 6 partners team. Adventure begin!

It was not easy. Hours of Skype conferences. Getting to know each others, sharing ideas about what we can do, writing each part of the project, so our chosen coordinator to put on the project platform.

Then the waiting period wondering: it will be approved or not?

137th School "Angel Kunchev"

The school was founded in 1957 as a primary school. In 1991-92 137th Primary School changed its status and grew up into a secondary school with early language learning from the first grade. In response to the interest of students and parents to extend the mathematical knowledge and skills - in the fifth grade - for one of the classes there is a selection according to the interest of the students. These students acquire additional knowledge in mathematics and IT.

  In accordance with the changes in the educational system a specialised training for high school degree was introduced: "Foreign languages profile", "Technology Profile - Informational Security" and "Technology Profile - Entrepreneurship and business." The school currently educates 1017 students in 41 classes taught by 78 teachers. In 2008-2009 school year, some teachers from the school began approbation of a Bulgarian electronic educational product ENVISION.

After ENVISION, which became a favorite of students and teachers, followed the approbation and implementation of the next Bulgarian educational product -JUMPIDO. The image of the school today is based on the experience and the results of the school team, implementing the project-based learning in the classroom and performing exchange of experience through projects in various programs: Erasmus+, Comenius, Partners in learning, Microsoft Innovative Schools program, Junior Achievement, e-twinning, Partnership for Change.

Yet the first project results bore a tradition of team activities for students, teachers and parents. Each of the project is realized with wide involvement of students, even during mobilities in foreign countries.We managed to establish ourselves as a school-innovator with experimental spirit. Our achievements generate desire among many parents to choose our school for their children from the first grade.

The strategy of 137th school was built on the formulation "School with a vision for the future." This strategy is related to the strategic frame 2020. Key people: contact person-a school coordinator with experience in project management Comenius and Erasmus. He is the author or co- author of each of them. He has a solid experience in the eTwinning platform; Headmaster - has good relationships with local community; Psychologist and teacher with special needs competences; 4 primary teachers; The school project team also has an adviser with economic competencies and a partnership of teachers in English.

We believe that this new dimension to our involvement with transnational cooperation will impact positively on our pupils' international awareness and motivation for learning, and will in turn increase the effectiveness and relevance of the International Dimension throughout the school. We are keen for the children to benefit from the rare opportunity to experience first hand what life and education are like elsewhere in the world.
