The project took seventh-grade students on an educational tour of significant Jewish historical sites in Sofia. Students began by studying the importance of each site, including the Jewish Affairs Commission, Dimitar Peshev’s plaque and monument, the Jewish Home, the Jewish Synagogue, and the Monument of Salvation. They embarked on a guided tour, identifying these locations on an interactive map by placing symbolic stickers, such as the Torah, the Shofar, the yellow star, and the Menorah. After the tour, students reflected on their experiences and created short videos and drawings about tolerance, respect, and human rights. This project involved 87 students, who learned about Jewish history and its impact, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of cultural heritage and human rights.
