Description
E-education in Bulgaria has still not achieved the necessary quality, taking account in particular the importance of distance learning and the risk of a new wave of coronavirus and transfer to online classes. What is needed is stricter discipline of complying with the COVID-19 measures, greater personal hygiene and responsibility displayed by the public. COVID-19 is not only a heath issue, it is an economic, political and social issue as well. Our organization Мy Century is a platform with popular digital educational resources including videos with testimonies of the recent past. We have informal partnership with Prosveta Foundation to include our videos in the e-textbooks published by Prosveta. The project envisages creating 3 short films about tackling past health crises in Bulgaria and launching a discussion related to public health. The films with historic photos will be dedicated to the following topics: a successful vaccine against TB, containing the HIV/AIDS crisis, the challenges facing health mediators during the COVID-19 crisis. This project aims at raising awareness of the capacity of digital media to educate public opinion to help make important healthcare decision such as introducing public health topics in the school curricula. The films will benefit target groups such as the Roma community and will include good practices of the Bulgarian Roma in London. We plan to show the films in the neighbourhood of Kosharnik, Montana, and organize a discussion with the mediators in the neighbourhood with mainly Roma make-up.
