During their visit to Burgas, the French students met with Katya Misheva, Director of the "Education and Youth Policies" Directorate at the municipality. At the meeting, they shared their impressions of their internship at Elin Pelin Primary School, where they observed lessons and got acquainted with the innovative pedagogical practices in Bulgarian schools. The students discussed the possibilities for cooperation and exchange of good practices between educational institutions in Europe.

The group also visited the "Magic" Kindergarten, where they observed an open integrated lesson on the topic "The Adventures of the Caterpillar". The uniqueness of this lesson was in the use of an educational video created with the help of artificial intelligence, based on children's stories. This example of the application of technology in the educational process evoked genuine admiration from the future teachers from France, as the "Magic" Kindergarten is the first kindergarten in Bulgaria to introduce artificial intelligence into its practice.
