ACS Success at International Translation Contest

"A good approach to foreign language education instills in young people a desire to know themselves and the world, a desire for self-improvement, a sense of cultural identity and respect for the spiritual world of other peoples of the world. In our complex and difficult times, this work flows into the common efforts of Bulgaria and of all humanity to build a harmonious and free society of knowledge," as per Dean of the Philology Department of Veliko Tarnovo University "St. Cyril and Methodius", organizer and host of the 9th International Translation Contest for University and High-School Students "TRANSFORMATIONS 2024", in which ACS juniors Svetoslav Ivanov, Anna Doncheva, and Dara Popova participated.
