This site presents a collection of videos that have voices of students from the Bulgarian schools across the country, who have earned Global Seal of Biliteracy credentials. The students send us very powerful messages about how they have built their identity as bilingual and multilingual speakers and their self-confidence while they have learned Bulgarian at their local schools, and what it means for their bilingual and biliteracy abilities to be officially recognized by the Global Seal of Biliteracy. We hope that parents, teachers, students, and friends at large will view the videos and see the power of these schools in people’s lives.  

Check out our first episode of our YouTube podcast featuring our students. In this episode they discussed the opportunities and challenges that arise while learning the Bulgarian language. Our goal is to show the perspectives of our students learning Bulgarian from around the country and world. Let us know if you have any topics you would like discussed in future episodes!
