Case Histories – Bulgarian ExperienceIntroduction and approbation of the educational model for development

of emotional intelligence amongst students – Literature as an elective discipline in 6th grade, 125th School „Prof. Boyan Penev”, Sofia

• Emotional intelligence as part of every human beings’ social competence • Analysis of emotions in works of literature leads to a higher degree of emotional

competence• The ability to identify one’s own emotions is a basic component of emotional

intelligence and guarantees a higher success rate in every interpersonal communication

• Participants in the experiment develop a better orientation within their own reality, where they can compare their personal interrelations with works of fiction

Case Histories – Bulgarian ExperienceMeeting Our Neighbours /The Image of the “Other” in Balkan Literatures/ -

teaching materials, developed by Center for Educational Initiatives (CEI) as part of the eponymous project, funded by European Cultural Foundation and Kulturkontakt within the Stability Pact for South-East Europe

What is this book about• The book will demonstrate, many times and in many ways, that it will be good for

us to break free from the stereotype perception of both ourselves and the others• That type of mental behaviour will allow us to realise that both the internal

diversity and the external unity of what we call “we”, is indebted to our correlation with “the others”



Why literature, why the Balkans?The literature is fiction, something different from reality – a “space”, where the wavering contours of reality merge with the increasingly visible contours of the imaginary

• The Balkans appear to bear the scars of multiple traumas, which the specific literatures have attempted to heal with good care, but also to carelessly exacerbate



What can we learn about?• The selected texts represent the literary articulation of the “other” in a broad

range of identity-related topics – national, religious, ethnic, local identities

• The applied apparatus of questions and tasks promotes knowledge and awareness of various issues



Issues:

• what is the relation between literature and “historical memory” • what does a “literary version” of the national history mean• how do historical narratives make use of literary allegory• how does literature clash the daily existence and history • what are the shared mechanisms of fictional and religious writing, and lots more
