These are reactions of the parents about the renewed learning environment in the Branch of Aleko Konstantinov Primary, Plovdiv, Bulgaria.

“We are very happy with the school’s environment! The classrooms are wonderful. The children feel fantastic. The rooms are spacious, cosy, and the children feel at peace. Everything is new, light, clean. We are grateful for these conditions. There needs to be more schools like this one.”

“The children in the class identify with the room’s subject (Earth, Fire, Sun, Air, Cosmos) and easily navigate in school. Everything is convenient and modern. We are very grateful for the environment in which our kid will learn, for this is important to us.”

“The “Water” classroom is wonderful! Everything is well suited for the children. “The water room” – that’s how my kid calls it and loves it very much. He feels good inside it. There’s a feeling of comfort and cleanness. He goes with pleasure to school. These are the first positive emotions from the children to the school and to the learning process.”

“Pleasant and calm environment. We like the idea of colourful and positive schools and we are impressed by the atmosphere in which our kid is educated. In this setting he feels wonderful and calm. The idea about the elements in the different classrooms is amazing. My child shares with me the thoughts written on the walls. We are charmed by all of this.”

“We totally approve the environment, the decoration, and the mood that they give to the rooms (Earth, Fire, Sun, Air, Cosmos). They provoke emotions and make children feel that they are in a fairy world. This helps the learning process, because children are relaxed and are easily approachable.”

“The environment in the Branch of Aleko Konstantinov Primary is very pleasant . Clean and radiant! Animated, spacious, clean, and unique is the Space classroom! Personalised. It is very suitable for education. Colourful and positive atmosphere, nice and inspiring”

“Everything is wonderful. My kid feels calm yet motivated! The environment is perfect!”

“The mood in the Cosmos classroom is very pleasant and sunny. Children are guided by the pictures on the doors and that provokes appetite for knowledge. The room is cosy, inviting, and encourages children to work as a team. I think it is a step in the right direction, to have more colours and personality.”

“The classroom is fantastic! My son is very impressed. He likes spending his time in school. He feels wonderful. He likes that everything is new and colourful. The interior design has motivating effect and he goes eagerly to school. He doesn’t want to move in the main building.”

“The classrooms are wonderful. The idea each room to have its own personality is amazing. It’s innovative, it provokes creativity in the children and inspires.”

“I think that the visual setting affects positively everyone. My child likes his classroom and often brags: “I’m going to the best school!”, and then tells everyone about the different classrooms. The colourful learning environment has a positive effect on my son, as he goes to school with joy.”

“What I hear from my kid are only good things. She goes to school with joy. Thank you! I’m happy that my kid goes to that school. She felt at home from the first day. It is not just because the teachers and the other children, but also because the wonderful conditions in which she is educated. All classrooms are beautiful and inviting. They give children a wonderful mood. Thank you to LightSource Charity!”
