I started developing digital presentations referring to important topics from the communist past. My digital lessons are based on the most recent archival discoveries and history analysis. The novelty is that they feature prominent Bulgarian movie and theater actors who present the historical sources.
In order to create examples of efficient and appealing teaching materials for the new National History curriculum, I started developing digital presentations. In the Fall semester of 2018 I demonstrated my new lectures at AUBG. My digital lessons are based on the most recent archival discoveries and history analysis, and they feature prominent Bulgarian movie and theater actors who present historical sources. The response was very positive. I would like to share with my colleagues at the AMICAL Conference samples of my latest history presentations. They could be used at AUBG, and, hopefully in other AMICAL institutions. For the audience of foreign students, they are all supplied with subtitles in English. My proposed presentation aims at inspiring other colleagues who include diverse learning techniques in their lessons, to try to include actors and other leading cultural figures in the educational process in order to find the optimal way to appeal to the minds of young generations. I am convinced that the charisma and the authority of such figures could contribute a great deal to the success of the message that teachers are seeking to achieve.
