Abstract
This report presents the results of the activities under the project "Municipality of Blagoevgrad - a place for ethno-innovation - Promenade", which is realized for 11 months in Blagoevgrad Municipality. The main participants in the project are the Municipality of Blagoevgrad, "Step by Step Program" Foundation - Sofia; Kindergarten 6 "Happy Childhood", Kindergarten 1 "Zdravets", 11th Hristo Botev Primary School, SOUCHE "Kliment Ohridski" - Blagoevgrad. The main objective of the "Promenade" project is to provide access to quality education and education of children and pupils in Blagoevgrad Municipality by providing municipal counseling and pedagogical teams with opportunities to apply the principles, methods and approaches of Intercultural Education. The main task of monitoring within the OBMEN project is to measure the effectiveness of activities that optimize the interaction between local authorities and educational institutions (kindergarten and school) in the implementation of a municipal policy for educational integration of children and students from ethnic minorities. As a result of the monitoring carried out, a gradual, systematic monitoring of the changes occurring in the SG and the schools in terms of: learning environment, individualization, working methods, planning and evaluation in the course of pedagogical interaction, family inclusion, institutional implementation policies in the field of intercultural education. Proactive learning environment is a more general concept, as the education, the learning, and training are aspects of the pedagogical process, and as components of didactics - they are the subject of the pedagogical research. Providing proactive learning environments in the classroom is a prerequisite for achieving learning and education effectiveness. Proactive people have a strong need for striving and development. These are people who need self-realization and constantly upgrade their knowledge and skills. These are people who are looking for ways to take advantage of any situation, not in the sense of benefiting someone else, but in the sense of becoming better people. They seek life lessons everywhere, they seek teachers among the people above and below them in the professional hierarchy. Combining the frontal work with the temporary group and especially with the individual is not an unfamiliar technique for didactics, but in this case the specificity comes from the specific tasks of opening to the other, the formation of skills to predict its behavior and the readiness to rely on it in a given situation. Homosexual and heterogeneous groups can be used by gender and cognitive levels, but in accordance with cooperative learning ideas, groups have to be heterogeneous by ethnicity in order to have interdependence and creativity in the work. By solving together learning problems, children will learn to solve life problems more easily by working together, responsibly and tolerant. Frontal forms of work are necessary in certain cases, especially at the beginning of schooling to overcome cognitive difficulties, fill gaps and oversights, complement the knowledge. However, they can not and should not be dominant or predominant. For the purpose of intercultural education, proactive group forms are the most valuable and appropriate and should be used at all times in educational and extra-curricular.
