Working in groups, students examine blind copies of the Romanian Constitution, the Bulgarian Constitution, and the United States Constitution. After discussing the basic concepts in the documents, students identify the sources for each of the documents._In addition, students examine excerpts from literary works from all three countries and data pertaining to each country.

Kos la PURPOSE There are many purposes behind this project. The first purpose is to expand the student's knowledge of Romania and Bulgaria. Next, is to explore the hypothesis that a country's constitution reflects the character and priorities of its people. The third purpose is to give the student a chance to experience working with primary and secondary sources. The last main purpose is to let the student exercise critical thinking skills. These purposes will be focused on in a Unit Plan that will take eight to ten class days. It can be used in upper level classes in either a World History, International Relations or Government course. The focus would be on the Post Cold War era. OBJECTIVES The student will be able to: 1) comprehend and analyze a document. 2) formulate an opinion baseddn the document. 3) identify which constitution corresponds to which country. 4) revise opinion (if necessary) based on new information. 5) determine if constitution does reflect the character and priorities of the country. 6) analyze the possible future of the country using the constitution and data packet. STRATEGIES Cooperative Learning Directed Reading Discussion Research Reading Charts and Graphs Directed Writing MATERIALS Romanian Constitution (Blind copy and Complete copy) Bulgarian Constitution t 64 United States Constitution 44 " CC Excerpts from literary works from all thr If e countries Data pertaining to all three countries. Surveys and opinion polls from Romania and Bulgaria Tourist brochures from Romania and Bulgaria BACKGROUND NOTES Each student in a group of three will examine and analyze one of the "blind" copies of one of the three countries constitution (Bulgaria, Romania, or United States). By answering the questions on the Constitutional Analysis form they will gain an impression of that specific country from their constitution. The student will fill out the Initial Impression of the Constitution form. Thenlin the group1the students will share the information with each other. At this time further revision of which constitution belongs with which country may take place. The groups will share their choices with the class. Some discussion is indicated at this time about how they came to their conclusions. Next the students will be given information packets on the three countries. These will come from the documents in the Material list. In their groups they will analyze the documents along with the constitutions. They will have a chance to make a final revision of their choices. The complete copies of the constitutions will be handed out and they can see how correct their choices were. A class discussion will be held on the question of "did the constitutions reflect the character and priorities of the country?" Why or why not? The last task will be an individual essay that will address, in their opinion, ( backed up by data) what is the future of either Romania or Bulgaria. EVALUATION Evaluation will be the worksheets (forms) filled out by the students, the discussion and the essay.By combining these three areas the teacher will be able to evaluate how well the purposes and objectives were met. 5 EUROPEAN HISTORY CONSTITUTION COMPARISON CONSTITUTION ANALYSIS CONSTITUTION 1 Analyze each constitution using the questions belowas your guide.

The end of socialism deprived the Bulgarian intelligentsia from its economic security, prestige, and a sense of clear moral mission. Now young cutting-edge artists, writers, designers, theater directors and other culture producers seek a way out of this predicament and aspire to become moral leaders of the nation.

  • Problem Statement Two Trends, Each Propitious on Its Own, Could Spell
    Problem Statement Two trends, each propitious on its own, could spell disaster for the world since they are concurrent. First, advances in automation, artificial intelligence and machine learning will boost productivity but these new technologies can also bring a job-eliminating tsunami. Second, the recent youth bulge has swelled populations under 15 to 41% in Africa and 26% in the world, while world population is projected to grow to nearly 10 billion by 2050. An energetic workforce will boost productivity but what happens when the young have no jobs? The unemployed millions may try to migrate northwards—from Africa to Europe and from Central and South America to the United States and Canada, causing new social disruptions and revival of nativism of old. Violence is already getting worse across the world and its economic impact reached $14.8 trillion, according to the 2018 Global Peace Index report. In the United States, more than 215,000 children have experienced gun violence at school since the Columbine High massacre in 1999, as reported by the Washington Post. Unlike the 20th century when progress was chiefly intelligence-based, prosperity this century is primarily creativity-driven. Creativity kindles ideation and invention, which fuels new business development so the young entrepreneurs can gainfully employ themselves as well as others. Essential though for collaborative innovation and social harmony is empathy because it breeds mutuality and makes compromise tolerable. Creativity and empathy are hence salient human attributes. Their development, however, must start with schoolchildren—before the well-documented “4th-grade slump” in their creativity gains a foothold or ingrained prejudices discolor their “mirror neurons” responsible for empathy.

  • The ICAF Fact Sheet
    Fact Sheet 4 July 11 Our nation‟s increasingly complex problems cry out for creative solutions. But creativity is in short supply and may become scarce if not nurtured in childhood. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the International Child Art Foundation (ICAF) has served since 1997 as the art and creativity organization for American children and their international counterparts. The ICAF‟s concerted efforts to foster children‟s creative development re-ignite American ingenuity and lay the building blocks for intercultural understanding and collaborative innovation. The Children Child artists in Uganda India and in Washington DC Nigeria Sri Lanka “Children are the world‟s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.” - President John F. Kennedy Mission To employ the power of the arts for the development of children‟s innate creativity and intrinsic empathy – preconditions for a better world. Approach • Provide free innovative programs and creativity- enhancing experiences that engage children to explore their world and their place in it • Develop programs that grow imagination (Arts Olympiad), reduce violence (Peace through Art) and remediate suffering (Healing Arts) • Publish a world class, ad-free periodical for children‟s creative development • Break prevalent stereotypes by introducing children to the “artist-athlete” ideal of a creative mind and healthy body • Produce the World Children‟s Festival every four years in Washington, DC as America‟s international children‟s event that integrates art and sport with STEM disciplines to provide early training for children to become creative leaders in their communities, prepared to collaborate for innovation and positive social change “What you are doing reflects such a refreshingly integrated view of children's development -- a much-needed perspective in a time when children's growth and learning often seem to be approached in a very reductionist, fragmented way.” - Dr.
