On 25th April 2024, CEI marked a significant milestone in the journey of REACT project with a vibrant closing event at the conference hall of Hotel Elite in Pernik, Bulgaria. This gathering showcased the outcomes of the rigorous pre-piloting and piloting phases of our innovative educational initiative to improve critical thinking among students, based on the RMA and the practices of Maria Montessori. Over 80 participants, including more than 40 educators, school leaders, and educational experts along with 40 enthusiastic students from SSFL “Simeon Radev”, Pernik and 10th primary school “Aleko Konstantinov”, Pernik, came together to discuss and celebrate the progress and results of the REACT project. This event not only highlighted the achievements but also set the stage for future educational transformations, being combined with the presentation of an open lesson in the Bulgarian language, “PROBEL” – an innovative workshop, presenting key Bulgarian authors and their works as a television show through the eyes of a student news team, skilfully led by Sofia Stoyneva, a teacher of Bulgarian language and literature at the State High School ” Simeon Radev”, Pernik.
